The smell of sweat,

The feel of the rubber,

The sound of your shoes

squeaking on the court.

The taste of the stuffy

air in the gym.

The intensity of the game

makes your mind focus

on what you will do next.

Will you make the winning shot?

Will you lose your teams lead?

When your team is ahead

the clock is a friend.

When your team is behind

the clock is a fiend

The intensity,

The sweat,

The focus,

The game,

BASKETBALL!
