Useless Basketball Things

Some of our sixth grade students were asked to write poems about “useless things.” Riley, a loyal Jazz fan, of course, choose basketball. Here is her very clever poem.

Useless Basketball Things

by Riley K.

A basketball without air,

the Jazz without their mascot bear;

players that aren’t tall,

a game without a basketball,

jerseys without the player’s last name,

a time when the Jazz had no fame,

games without a referee,

Jason Hart without the #3,

Williams without Boozer,

if you don’t like the Jazz you are a loser!
