A ball is round to roll, Not half round as a bowl, It’s bound to roll around When you throw it down. Some balls you just kick Others are hit with a stick But most balls you throw, Really fast or only slow. Balls are built to bounce And may weigh an ounce, Others can be giant balls And may not bounce at all. It can be any color at all After all it’s just a ball, It may be red, white or blue, Pick a color that pleases you. Special balls have names And are used in games, Some are made for sports Of many odd sorts. After all is said and done A ball is mostly for fun But can’t have fun by itself So play with one yourself. Bounce one or toss it Catch it with a mitt, Kick a ball or give it a hit Just have fun, don’t forget. © Written by: Kenneth J. Ellison 11-11-06 E-mail Ken Please visit his wonderful Website.
