This Memorial Day was definitely a scorcher!
So, what did we find to do on a 90 something degree day?
Splash around in a pool?
Nope
Fly around in a drop top convertible
catching every available breeze?
Not a chance...
Instead, on this hot sticky day we chose
to visit those who found pleasure standing in the heat
reading an instruction manuel
to assemble many black and silver metal parts
for the goal of one day spending hours
on another hot day throwing a basketball
into an orange metal ring
swishing through a white net...
It actually reminded me of a nursery rhyme...
This is the hoop that Kyle built.
This is the box that held the parts
that made up the hoop that Kyle built.
These are the tools that screwed on the bolts
that came in the box
that held the parts
that made up the hoop that Kyle built.
This is the gauge that measured the water
that held down the base
that came in the box
that held the parts
that made up the hoop that Kyle built.
This is the sister
that screwed on the backboard
that held the bolts
that came in the box
that held the parts
that made up the hoop that Kyle built.
This is the brother that watched the sister
that screwed on the backboard
that held the bolts
that came in the box
that held the parts
that made up the hoop that Kyle built.
This is the pole that held up the backboard
that held the bolts
that came in the box
that held the parts
that made up the hoop that Kyle built.
These are the girls that pushed the glasses
that read the manuel
that pictured the pole
that held up the backboard
that held the bolts
that came in the box
that held the parts
that made up the hoop that Kyle built.
This is the concentration
that figured out the manuel
that pictured the pole
that held up the backboard
that held the bolts
that came in the box
that held the parts
that made up the hoop that Kyle built.
This is the brother that posed with the net
that hangs on the backboard
that held the bolts
that came in the box
that held the parts
that made up the hoop that Kyle built.
This is the leg that fit through the net
that hangs on the backboard
that held the bolts
that came in the box
that held the parts
that made up the hoop that Kyle built.
This is the star that will one day slam dunk the hoop
that hangs on the backboard
that held the bolts
that came in the box
that held the parts
that made up the hoop that Kyle built.
These are the sisters that rest on the base
that holds up the pole
that held up the backboard
that held the bolts
that came in the box
that held the parts
that made up the hoop that Kyle built.
This is the end
of the silly rhyme
that talks of the net
that hangs on the backboard
that held the bolts
that came in the box
that held the parts
that made up the hoop that Kyle built.
Still scratching your head on where in the world
such a rhyme (which doesn't rhyme at all)
came from?
Just check your local library or your basement bookshelf
and dust off the "Mother Goose" book of nursery
rhymes.
Yes, the one with the black and white checkerboard cover.
Then read "This is the house that Jack built".

Enjoy the Hoop Guys!
