Barbara Gorelick Poet Couplet

It Went Up and Came Down

The ball went up, and down it came
In the neighbor’s yard, now what a shame
He can be a bit of a grouch you see
He’s not overly fond of kids like me
Shall I climb over the fence, or ring the bell
Maybe his wife’s home, that would be swell
Oh look, someone’s tossed it right back
Thank you! For cutting this kid some slack…
