The Little Red Ball

All was quiet in the playroom when...

Bounce, bounce, bounce went the little red ball,

He bounced off the table

And bounced down the hall.

He bounced to the garden where the air was clean,

Then began bouncing on the trampoline.

Bounce, bounce, bounce went the little red ball

He bounced on the trampoline

And felt so tall.

He bounced so fast and he bounced so high

He landed on a cloud that was passing by.

Bounce, bounce, bounce went the little red ball,

“This really is so very high,

I hope that I don’t fall”.

He bounced on the cloud and right up to the stars

And with a bounce, bounce, bounce, landed on Mars!

Bounce, bounce, bounce went the little red ball,

“I’m getting rather tired now,

And that won’t do at all!

I must get back to Earth and very, very soon,

But before I do, I think I'll bounce on the Moon.”

Bounce, bounce, bounce went the little red ball,

He bounced on the Moon,

Who didn’t mind at all.

He bounced from the Moon and onto the stars

And waved 'Cheerio' to the red planet Mars.

Bounce, bounce, bounce went the little red ball,

And as he bounced down to Earth,

The birds began to call

“Hurry up, hurry up! Morning is almost here!

You're not very far from home, it really is quite near.”

Bounce.... bounce…. bounce…. went the little red ball,

His tired little legs

Could hardly bounce at all.

He bounced through the window left ajar,

And no-one ever knew he had bounced so far.
