The Lonely Ball

There once was lonely little ball
sitting on the shelf, feeling sad and small
each day it would wish for a bit of fun
for a friend to pay with, for some games in the sun

it decided to do what balls do best - 

just jump off the shelf and go on a quest
to roll and skip all the way to the sea
and not to come back until it was time for tea

it was about to leave when in came a boy
and the boy brought another ball - what joy!
now they could all run and play and enjoy
because that is what you do when you have a great toy
