Basketball Is Life
Basketball stands for many things
B is for Battles and you know what that brings...
A.. for A trip to the emergency room, and
S for Stitches... VROOM VROOM VROOM... s brings us to
K, and you know what they say... Karate is not suitable for this sport today, but everyone needs revenge on their
E... Enemies... sooooo
T is for Tackle, go on give 'em a whackle.
Now we are back at B... Hmmmm.. let me see.. Oh yes!
B must stand for.. Brutality.... and that brings us to... oh yes another a... I would have to say that
A stands for... Anyday is right to play this game.
Oh L lovely L, what do you say? You stand for LOVE???? OH yes! The LOVE for this game!! Oh great, there are two!! OH what shall I do??? All I can say is...
L stands for Life.. the Life of my basketball, cause BASKETBALL IS LIFE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Edgar Allan Poe Poems
Annabel Lee
It was many and many a year ago,
In a kingdom by the sea,
that a maiden there lived whom you may know
By the name of Annabel Lee;
And this maiden she lived with no other thought
Than to love and be loved by me.
I was a child and she was a child,
In this kingdom by the sea:
but we loved with a love that was more than love--
I and my Annabel Lee;
With a love that the winged seraphs of heaven
Coveted her and me.
And this was the reason that, long ago,
In this kingdom by the sea,
A wind blew out of a cloud, chilling
My beautiful Annabel Lee;
So that her high-born kinsman came
And bore her away from me,
To shut her up in a sepulchre
In this kingdom by the sea.
The angels, not half so happy in heaven,
Went envying her and me--
Yes!--That was the reason (as all men know,
In this kingdom by the sea)
That the wind came out of the cloud by night,
Chilling and Killing my Annabel Lee.
But our love it was stronger by far than the love
Of those who were older than we--
Of many far wiser than we--
And neither the angels in heaven above,
Nor the demons down under the sea,
Can ever dissever my soul from the soul
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee,
For the moon never beams, without bringing me dreams
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee;
And the stars never rise, but i feel the bright eyes
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee;
And so, all the night-tide, I lie down by the side
Of my darling--my darling--my life and my bride,
In the sepulchre there by the sea,
In her tomb by the sounding sea.
