A Magical Game

The ball tells a story, of what it’s here to do
To bring kids the joy, of learning something new
‘’Twas the game called Downball, a magical game to few
With so many rules it might confuse you
But with so much fun it might infuse you too
There are 4 squares, one for dunce, Jack, Queen and King are just a few
King ruled the game, and served it to his lower squares just to see if they could bare
The power of the ball, so mighty only King himself could control
The ball must first bounce in your square, before it can travel on
And beware the mighty body lobs they might try and ace you
But remember not to get too attached to the ball
For if you cup it, it will be straight to the line with you
The line is a dreaded place, no fun, no sun, no happiness
But do not fear, you will soon be in with us in here"
It is the game called downball! A magical game indeed!
