I WAS PLAYING BALL

I kicked the ball up in the sky, Do you know why?
I was playing ball with the Moon!
But a little sparrow flying past
Came crashing into the ball, so I put him in a cast!

I kicked the ball up in the sky, Do you know why?
I was playing ball with the Stars!
But a mighty eagle swooped down on the ball
And sent it swishing down in free fall!

I kicked the ball up in the sky, Do you know why?
I was playing ball with the Clouds!
But a handsome peacock plucked it with his feathers
And the ball it tore in tatters!

I kicked the ball up in the sky, Do you know why?
I was playing ball with the Lightning!
But a big, black crow came hopping in its way
He took away my ball and started to play!

I kicked the ball up in the sky, Do you know why?
I was playing ball with the Rainbow!
And when the ball came down,
It had seven lovely colors, painted all around!

I kicked the ball up in the sky, Do you know why?
I was playing ball with the Thunder!
Which was a big blunder,
There was so loud a clap, made me run home in fear!
