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.

The idea just caught my fancy. Apologies to
Simon and Garfunkel and the band by that name.
