A House Is Made Home

Every part of a house is made home by some sport.
At homes, driveways become basketball courts.
Starting from one end, the yard is a diamond.
If you start from the other, it becomes a gridiron.
The garage door's second fold can crossbar a hockey cage.
The den, when folks are gone, is a dodgeball...shooting range?
The porch-rails are the faces on which little climbers climb,
The living room and couches are terrain where cats hunts mice.
Any room that's got a wall in it becomes a handball court.
They say home is where the heart is; I say home's where we keep score.
