Poem #1- Ping Pong Ball

I am born out of plastic,

but not very elastic.

I am strong enough to withstand smashes,

and also play international matches.

I am Orange in colour,

which is the colour of Summer.

I am worth 60 Rupee,

so buy me quickly!

You can make me Bounce,

You can make me Spin,

You can hit me fast,

You can hit me slow.

I can lose Matches for you,

but can also win you one.

I can hit you hard,

but can also help hit.

I am played in a Table,

but it isn’t compulsory too.

I am thrown into a Dustbin,

I am thrown into a Box.

But I don’t Shout,

Because I cannot talk.

I am the Smallest of balls,

You can find,

Who am I?

a Ping Pong Ball!
