DID MY BUDDY PLAY WELL?
I would always ask his Daddy,
Did my Buddy play well?
I don't want just a yes or no,
I want every detail.
Did he dribble the ball behind his back,
Did he flabbergast the foe?
Did he have the enemy wondering
Just where did that boy go?
Did he make a pass while in the air
To a teammate who was not there?
Only to have the teammate appear
And add two points to the score?
On the scramble for a rebound;
(That was old____'s forte)
While the others were getting untangled,
He went dibbling down the court!
All the coaches briefed their teams
And assigned two men to guard him,
But that hardly slowed him down,
He just dribbled around or through them!
He was modest to a fault.
He never "hogged" the ball,
He would always pass to a teammate
If one was open at all.
As proud as I am of his accomplishments,
And as proud as I am of his skill.
Even if he couldn't pick up the ball
He would be my Buddy still.
Love my Buddy,
