Ode to my Rubber Band Ball
I started you with a single band and paper
And thought my interest would wane and taper
But now you are so round and bouncy
I couldn’t love you another ounce. See…
…soon your size and magnitude
Will overwhelm my little cube
People from all around will travel
And from the stress you will unravel
Once the bands I did abhor
And now I only wish for more
To grow your power and your glory
To tell a cautionary rubber band ball story
And on that fateful day when you spring apart
I’ll pick up the pieces of my stretched-out heart
Crumple a used-up sticky note, true
And start to make another you
