Basketball
By Tim Schenke

I play it when I’m stressed,

I don’t play it when I’m studying for a test.

It makes me think of good times with my father,

And my grandfather.

I am very grateful for basketball,

Because I don’t like to play baseball.

Basketball is very cool,

I play it in the neighbor’s pool.

But when it rains,

I play downstairs instead of in the rain.

I love basketball,

More than soccer, baseball, or even football.
