Bounce bounce bounce I go with excitement
players shoot, pass, and defend me

Through the net it feels comfortable
when I hit the back board
I make a Boom! sound
You swat at me like a fly
Ow! that hurts
You poke at me
It annoys me a lot
When you pass me around I go through the air
I am like a speeding bullet
You dribble me up and
on the floor I feel calm
… mmm
When you leave me I roll away from you
That makes me sad
… I yell somebody stop me
