GLOBAL/NAPOWRIMO 2024 DAY 12
THE NATIONAL SPORT
Went to the basketball arena here
it's the national sport and man can they play
they can hit the basket from the centre circle
running up and down like a troglodytes uncle
sweating for Quirino like there's no mañana
It was the Mayor's cup and each Barangay
played each other in Saguday at four o'clock
or so they told me but the first game kicked off at six pm
after the beauty contest and the fashion show followed by
all the introductions then prayers from the Pastor
a couple of speeches from the Mayor then more of the same
until the first two teams started warming up
These guys were spot on
Harlem Globetrotters eat your heart out
these guys never missed a shot
from anywhere on the court
when they started all hell broke loose
More noise than a jumbo jet
more kidz than a kindergarten
more goals than City on a good day
More baskets than a weavers cottage
more fans than Real Madrid
more miles than Timbuktu
More motorcycles than the Manx TT
more scooters than Easter weekend
more tricycles than a school playground
More hot dogs than the Charcoal pit
more hamburgers than MacDunky's
more Filipino's than a boodle fight
More rice than a paddy field
more gas stations than the state of Texas
more parasols than umbrellas
People to see knowledge to acquire
other fish to fry
Cock fighting
used to be the thing
but this is the biggest spectator sport now
