Basketball’s My Favourite Sport by Kenn Nesbitt
Basketball’s my favourite sport.
I dribble up and down the court.
The ball goes bouncing off my toes
and beans Peter on the nose.
He stumbles back and grabs his nose
and hits the wall and down he goes.
The other players stop and stare.
They’ve never heard Peter swear.
With no one playing anymore,
I grab the ball. I shoot. I score.
I love this game! It’s so much fun.
Peter cried, but, hey—we won!
