Sense Sonnet - Tickler

 The Call of the Basket

During a break from work each day,

I eat an apple to the core.

S'posed to be healthy, don't they say?

Then when I'm done, I try to score

The waste basket across the room.

I toss each core from practiced hand,

And through the air that core does zoom,

In or out of basket to land.

And now getting more in than out.

One day I tossed, my boss walked in.

She helped core in basket no doubt,

After first bouncing off her chin.

In or out of the basket fall,

Maybe how happened basketball?
