I ONLY A BALL. ■AN inflated rubber bladder, a bom, ' **■ bustle heap of wind, A plaything for the girls—likewise the boys. You’ve a pin prick in -your side and ) it’s let out all your gas, You’re jio longer to be classed among" their toys. • Once you wore bright and shiny (when the paint and all was hew), And dm yonngslcrg would play with you aII day. But now you’ve been discarded and your wind bag’s had a fall. You’ve got dirty, and your use has passed away. I would not be a ball—a blown up I) cap of wind— But something more substantial, better made, * Something with an inside, something with some vim, Something of a pin prick not afraid. May be the wound will heal, and you’ll again be strong, And your past will not dwell upon _ your fall.Strive to be more useful, strive to da some good And bo looked upon as something more than—ball. —MORE POET.
