Where Does the Bounce Come From?
Where Does the Bounce Come From?
Rubber dubber
flouncer bouncer
up the wall
and in and outer
under over
bouncing backer
mustn’t dropper
mustn’t stopper
in-betweener
do a clapper
in-betweener
do a spinner
faster faster
to and fro-er
rubber dubber
flouncer bouncer
BUT
then oh bother!
Butter finger
dropped the ball
and pitter patter
patter pitter
rubber ball
ran right away.
