Ball in Hand

Isaac’s famous on our street.
He’s the dog with the orange ball.
A medium ball for a medium dog.
An orange ball is also good for street hockey.
Isaac the black dog swallowed a black ball.
A small ball for a small dog.
He didn't eat the ball.
He swallowed it.
He couldn’t help it.
He’s a champion ball-catcher.
It was someone else's ball.
A small dog ball inside a medium sized dog.
A small ball is still larger than a small intestine.
Now Isaac has no ball but quite a few stitches.
When the stitches come out he’ll get his orange ball back.
When he gets his orange ball back he’ll get his bounce back.
Already he’s two years younger and raring to go.
Never throw a small ball for a medium dog.
Absurd things happen.
