A famous game that we all adore,
With a ball that you bounce on the floor.
A court where you play with such might,
And score points with a basket in sight.

The basketball hoop is where you aim,
And with a throw, you call out its name.
"Swoosh!" goes the ball, through the air,
And if you're lucky, it will be there.

Invented by a man full of fun,
This game for us has just begun.
So grab a ball, let's take a shot,
And see who can get the highest score!
