| ONLY A BALL. AN inflated rubber bladder, a bem- ■** bus tic Leap of wind, A plaything for the girls—likewise fcbe boy;;. You’re a pinprick in your side and it’s let out all your gas, You’re.no longer to be classed among their toys. Oaoe you were bright and shiny (when the paint and all was new). And the youngsters .would play with you all day. . But now you vc 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 heap 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 de some good And be looked upon as something more than—ball.
