Ping Pong


Ping pong ping pong,
the red ball to and fro the wall,
Back and forth his hand,
Ping pong ping pong.

Ding dong ding dong,
Answer the door, open it wide,
There stands she in eager. finger on bell,
Ding dong ding dong.

Ping pong & ding dong,
In this echo of confusion,
The balls misses the wall,
And slams on the girl at the door.

Shock runs through his face,
Bewilderement across her's.
Sigh, The first instance they met,
The ball bounces lower, lower and rests.


Ping and Pong, Ping and Pong,
It bounces again, not monotonous like before,
here and there it misses and flies away,
Livelier, not mindful how far or where it goes,

Because,
Now there's no wall in between,
Only two smiling eyes,
With a ball dancing in between.
