Please Can We Have Our Ball Back?

It muddied your washing

Bypassing the back door

Flew fast as a rocket

Spread dirt on your new floor

I'm bending on one knee

And begging 'forgive me'

But...

Please can we have our ball back?

It plopped in your fishpond

Broke your kitchen window

Pushed over the pot plant

Thus bruising your big toe

We're sorry we're uncool

So hopeless at football

But...

Please can we have our ball back?

It bounced on your cat's head

The lawn you were mowing

The patio table

The sunflowers you're growing

Your anger is rising

Which isn't surprising

But...

Please can we have our ball back?

It created chaos

Spilt your cup of coffee

Then carried on upwards

Got stuck in your oak tree

Now be a good neighbour

This is a huge favour

But...

Please can we have our ball back?
