“Ode to a Stress Ball” by yours truly
Stress ball as you bounce and bounce and bounce
I shall renounce the tears and fears of all the years.
But it appears the neighbors doth think my point belabors,
So I shall take you down the hall and stop your bouncing
Lest I fall down the stairs and have nightmares.
But out the front door I shall resume your bounce
With every ounce of strength I can muster, such is your luster.
Oh stress ball, stress ball, by some finer name you I should call.
For all the relief you bring, I want to sing.
If I were locked away in Sing Sing,
Such peace you would bring. Stress ball.
