Everyone likes a good game of fast paced basketball. The game is usually started with a loud bugle call. If there happen to be a problem, they will call an arbitrator. During half time for entertainment, out came a turkey impersonator. The best day to take your family is on Friday; today. If you are lucky, you just might see the miracle play. Only the rich and famous can afford an expensive box seat. Hoping not to get hit in the head with someone's cleat. One famous coach always wore a jacket of red and blue tweed. The two opposing coaches greet each other before they proceed. Rick and Black provided security, also for this profession. Taking special precautions for the money at each concession. However, the kids want an athletic top that is authentic. The younger kids care more about the sights and music. While the mothers are asking the fathers, "what's the score?" Their kids are screaming for popcorn and druinks, "I want more!" By that time, an important play has been made. The fathers are mad, because they missed it getting lemonade. If you become lucky and went to the winning team's locker. You might be in for a big surprise and a good shocker. Copyright (C) 1995 Marva L. Dowdin

Everyone likes a good game of fast paced basketball. Except
when the fathers become distracted by mothers wanting to know
the score or to explain that particular call. This poem is from
