No double dribble
and no travelling,
leaves me marvelling
at those kids
with the skills
of streetball
pounding in their veins.
No calling of fouls,
no rows,
just love of the game.
Rejecting B-Ball,
yet holding heads tall,
and putting me to shame.
If I could apply
what I see in their eyes,
my life would be happy and free.
They choose independence
and principles,
and hard work too.
I recommend them all to you.
