Basket Ball

On the stairway he grasps the basketball,

darts and shoots until he gets a tremendous swish.

He starts his move by dribbling.

He tries his hardest not to hit the ball off the backboard.

The ball returns back to him.  Before shooting he does a more moves

while gradually moving up the driveway.

The balls hits off the rim and rolls down the driveway.

So he runs down the driveway in chase of the basketball.

He retrieves the ball, returns up his driveway doing spectacular moves

demonstrating he can shoot the ball and make a swish

without hitting the backboard.

The ball comes back to him he goes to dribbling.

He repeatedly keeps dribbling

In the open driveway.

Shoots the ball, only this time the ball hits backboard

and the orange and spherical ball bounces back.

He shoots again but this time he gets a swish

and this time he didn’t perform any talented moves.

Beginning again he heads off with some creative moves

and doesn’t shoot but instead just keeps on dribbling.

He shoots, and he gets a swish

without having to chase the ball down the driveway.

He grabs the basketball

and bounces it off the backboard.

This time when he shoots he hits backboard

and still doesn’t make any moves,

just dribbles the basketball.

stops his dribbling

and just stands in the empty driveway

until he finally shoots and he gets another swish.

Shoots again and gets another swish,

shoots a quick shot and hits backboard.

The bad thing was that the ball rolled down the driveway.

He gets the ball and dribbles up the driveway doing moves.

He’s almost done dribbling

the basketball.

He shoots the basketball and doesn’t even hit backboard.

He picks the ball up and starts dribbling in the lonely driveway

Then he goes into moves, then shoots the ball and gets another swish.
