Good News�"Basketball Season May Be Cancelled

 

By Elton Camp

 

Of outrageously overpaid, whiny jocks I don’t care

For fifty years I haven’t watched a game anywhere

 

When in college, some of our team’s players I knew

Mention a present basketball star & I respond, “Who?”

 

I don’t know the details of what the big fuss is about

But that it’s about big time money I’ve got no doubt

 

Professional sports is filled with extravagant greed

Really, how much can players and owners need?

 

With millions working hard for just minimum wage

Obscene millions spent on sports puts me into a rage

 

So let them cut their season short of not do it at all

I don’t care if I never see another game of basketball

 

In fact, here’s what I think it’d be best if they will do

Get in a fight and close down football & baseball too

 

My best guess is that this won’t ever take place

But I’m keeping my fingers crossed just in case
