What To Do With A Basketball That's Flat


Lee had a basketball that was terribly flat.
Mom said, "Throw it away!"
Lee said, "I'll find a use for that."
And he did, by the end of the day.

Cousin Linda used the basketball
That was terribly flat.
She wore it in the garden;
On her head, like a hat.

Auntie used the basketball
That was terribly flat.
She laid it by the door
Like a foot-wiping mat.

Friend Michael used the basketball
That was terribly flat.
It was the pitcher's mound
When he got out his bat.

Grandma used the basketball
That was terribly flat.
She put it under the food dish
When she fed her fat cat.

Uncle Fred used the basketball
That was terribly flat.
He cushioned his rocker
On the porch, where he sat.

Lee found uses for the basketball that was flat;
Didn't have to throw it away.
Can you think of things just like that;
And think them, by the end of the day?
