SLAM DUNK
Loud, crowded gym,
Take your seat.
New basketball,
Two left feet.
Hands are shaky,
Nerve is gone.
Whistle blowing,
Game is on.
Dribble slowly,
Gaining speed.
Sideways passing,
In the lead.
Line up the ball,
Shoot and miss.
Grab the ball back,
Take a risk.
Catch some good air,
Wow! Slam dunk!
Nothin' but net,
Totally sunk.
