Yes, everyone must have a basketball. <br />It's the gift that must be given to all, <br />Because with it, everyone can have a ball. <br /> <br />You can bump it to touch the sky; <br />Something all want to do before they die. <br />Best of all, it is very easy to dry. <br /> <br />You can use just one sheet of bounty; <br />Water runs off it like pretty girls run from me; <br />By the way, that is something you ought to see! <br /> <br />Just pump it and you will have a best friend, <br />A classy one, if you are willing to spend; <br />You can get a warranty that does not end. <br /> <br />Spalding is the brand used by the NBA, <br />It makes for one hell of a play, <br />But you do not have to take what I say. <br /> <br />Try it for yourself and you will see, <br />A basketball is a friend without animosity. <br />Get one! If I were you, I would do so quickly.<br /><br />Leslie Alexis<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-basketball-tercet/
