The Noise Of The Sweet Ball

Every day, I dribble a basketball.
I love to hear the sound it makes
when it bounces off the ground.
It is music to my ears;
every bounce makes a sweet melody
like the musical group The Beatles.
 
I feel like a DJ making beats with the moves I do.
Dribbling is like having a freestyle rap battle
with the different moves you show off.
It is very entertaining hearing the ball bounce.
Every day, I cannot wait to relax by dribbling
because I know I can look forward to the sound of the sweet ball.
