Something to "play" with...


Poem Artwork

Balls…

 

Football, soccer, baseball & basketball,

Kicking, throwing, head butting them all,

Tennis balls have a little hair,

If soccer balls did grow it, more than I would be scared…

 

Playing with balls is a fun past time,

Dogs love to chase them; kitties love them with catnip,

Some do hang them on their cars rearview mirror,

Making things in back so much more clearer…

 

Personally I do love the balls I do with play,

As a poor child I at least had two I must say,

No toys did I need, nor do I anymore today,

Dad used to say I would grow hair on my palms,

Little did I know he was right,


The hair now turning in my old age to grey…
