Basketball Madness

I dribble the ball
And without warning he comes
To snatch it away

I grab the ball back
Running down the court
Getting coast to coast lay-ups

The shot leaves my hand -
I watch the ball's arc as it
Passes through the net

Basketball in life
Shooting a three-point shot
Swisher wins the game
