Poem Paraphrase

The poem is called "Basketball" and it is written by Patrick Michael Cassidy.

Well basketball is my favorite sport and I believe basketball is what I suceed in the most.

The poem is about fame. A kid airballs a free-throw to come within one point. Then the coach calls a timeout and the kid says he wants the ball back to make up for his prevous airball. the kid mentioned he wanted to steal the inbounds pass and hit a three pointer to put his team ahead. So his team steals the pass and he got another oppurtunity to win the game for his team. He missed his first attempt, but his team got the rebound and gave him another shot and he made it and his team won. In a nut shell that is what the poem is saying. Kinda lame, but it worked out for me.
