my poem for poetry out loud

My poem is called old men playing basketball by B.H. Fairchild and I'm not going to lie I don't really have a special connection with it. I read it because of the name and I picked it because it seems the least cheesy of all the poems on that site. As for my performance I just plan to read it as I believe the writer would have liked it to be read, which is pronunciate clearly and put emphasis on key words and add a sprinkling of humor, I think i can convince the judge that not only do I understand it but that I genuinely love it.
