Red Rubber Ball
Bouncing, bouncing down the street,
chasing a red rubber ball,
is such a wonderful treat,
for children ages all.
To catch a dog's instinct eye,
its movement irresistibly game,
as it passes, bouncing by,
caught with effortless perfect aim.
Sometimes confined to a simple board,
with a rubber band or elastic cord.
To bounce out into the wild blue,
only to return the same path, too.
Who hasn't followed the bouncing ball?
When it landed on words' simple call.
For everyone to sing along the tune,
bouncing red ball's melody filled the room.
As a bouncing red ball enters space,
it moves out of sight without leaving a trace,
never to bounce back, ever again,
for gravity it needs, its where or when.

I love it!
As youngsters we played ‘double ball’ here in UK…
Two balls simultaneously thrown at a wall and caught, with rhymes etc..
and some clever tricky moves too..kept us going and
having real fun all Summer long!
