ONE in a long dark pigtail cries,
"Now to your places all."
I hang my head; indeed I dread
This game of basket ball.

The ball it mounts up to the skies,
We watch its sickening fall;
Wildly we rush, each other push,
And on the ground we sprawl.

They jump upon us where we lie,
They kick us where we fall;
With groan of pain, we play again
The noble game of basket ball.
