I Am a Joyful Green Tennis Ball

I love being bouncy, being green, being fun! I jump and I hop, and I dance all around. Being chased by children from two to a hundred and one. I am the happiest tennis ball, easily found. I have a sweet squeak when I hit the concrete. There are squeals of laughter as I am being chased. A dog has me in her mouth, so I give a quick squeak. Hoping she will spare me, giving a lot of grace. I am bouncing now, and excited. Bounce. Bounce. Bounce. Bounce. I am enthusiastic about being me in rain, wind, black ice and snow. I would like a little drink of water, but I do not whine or flounce. This is the best life I have ever had, for sure. I love it so!
