CLEVELAND - "What Should I Do" isn't only the title of LeBron James' new Nike ad.  It's a new poem about Number 6 written by 15 former fans from Wade Park School in Cleveland.

The line "What should I do? What should I do? We really don't care" sent the audience bursting into applause when the boys recited their work at the America Scores Cleveland Poetry Slam Friday night.

America Scores Cleveland is a youth development program where students improve their writing skills, public speaking skills and build self-esteem by writing poetry and playing soccer.  Executive Director Debi Pence-Meyenberg said the organization's founder had a passion for both soccer and creative writing.

Nine Cleveland schools participated in the Friday night slam.  The winning girl's team was from Wade Park.  Walton took first place in the boy's category.
