Array ( [sid] => 2265 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Basketball [time] => 2002-08-14 07:05:30 [hometext] => This poem is about my fav. sport basketball and tells how much I love it! I'm very dedicated and work hard but I mean I'm not a hot shot like this poem kinda says. lol I just love the game! Plus my jersey #25 my not be my jersey this year but I hope it will! [bodytext] => When I'm out on the basketball court
I don't feel tall or feel short
I feel just right
When we have our games at night
I play as hard as I can
After all this sport wasn't just made for a man
I'm strong and when I shoot and see the ball go through the net
I'm like hey I'm not even warmed up yet
Back on defense man on man
Working my feet as fast as I can
Stealing the ball and running with everything I got
To get to the basket and make my sweet shot
I feel sweat running down my body telling me
I'm playing as strong as I can be
Watching the time as it quickly goes by
I make a shot for each and every guy (lol)
I feel like I'm ready for anything
oh no coach I don't need no rest
right now I'm at my best
For I'm playing my favorite game
I hear all my friends screaming my name
I get the basketball in my hand and shoot a three
Now everyones screaming at me
You go girl go number 25
this game makes me feel alive
Everyone gets me pumped and ready to go
So come and watch and I'll give you a show
Basketball it's my favorite sport ya know
I'll grab my jersy number 25 and begin to play
basketball yeah it brightens my day [comments] => 3 [counter] => 252 [topic] => 43 [informant] => Sweetie [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 9 [ratings] => 2 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => oops )
