It’s tournament time at Stokley Playground.

Basketball players from all over the city
gather there for the yearly finals.

Good young men, true sportsmen,
from eighteen to thirty-five
gather there for the playoffs
and final four.

The games are good,
and fun to watch.

All are welcome.

The corner ice cream store
does a banner business.

Basket ball Bobby is a favourite topic in our house as two of my grandsons are top players. Isaiah has just captained the under
nineteen Queensland State Team in the Australian Championships. It's great to see young people playing sport whatever it might be, it being very good for their health and well being.

Thanks LindsayP,

Yes, sports is good for people. It's kept many of us from jail, or an early grave.

God bless your grandsons, and I wish them success.

My half Japanese grandson is into soccer.

Sport, in my opinion, should be fun and enjoyed. This fits the bill. Most enjoyed.

Thanks dear Ida,

Yes it is a lot of fun, at least for me. I like big crowds of people around me.

Love Bobby
