Have a ball

There are lots of games
To be played with a ball
Just kick it or throw it
Or bounce off a wall

Balls that are different
And keep us amused
If you’re playing tennis
New balls should be used

Baseballs and footballs
While playing each game
When thrown to a player
Be sure that you aim

If you go bowling
You just be strong
The ball will be heavy
The lanes will be long

You can play with a ball
On a white sandy beach
Or in a deep pool
So your feet can’t reach

You can play on a field
You can play on a horse
You can play on a court
Or a fancy golf course

You can kick the ball hard
To score a goal
When you’re using a putter
Tap the ball in the hole

You can slam dunk the ball
But you must be tall
Being safe at home plate
Is the umpire's call

You can walk to your ball
But most like to ride
Parking their golf carts
Off to the side

Keep your eye on the ball
In the game that you choose
If you don’t pay attention
Then surely you’ll lose
