Elastic Band
When I first held an elastic band
It moved like magic in my hand
What an amazing piece of rubber
Losing its shape only to recover
It streeeetched
It straaaained
And streeeetched again
Morphing into so many things
A catapult
A bracelet!
A ball!
A ring!
It streeeeeeeetched
It straaaaaaaained
And streeeeeeeetched again
Flicking, pinging
Twisting, twirling
Twanging, strumming
Bending, curling
It streeeeeeeeeeeetched
It straaaaaaaaaaaained
And streeeeeeeeeeeetched again
Until I had an unfortunate mishap
It streeeeeeeeeeeeeeeetched
It straaaaaaaaaaaaaaaained
Then, oh dear...
It ssssssssss napped!
