I Am A Soccer Ball

I am a big round pumped up soccer ball.
I wonder if I will be kicked by someone.
I hear someone shouting at me.
I see a person coming to kick me.
I want to be kicked into the goals.
I am a big round pumped up soccer ball.
I pretend to move to the goals.
I feel soccer boots touching me.
I touch someone’s boots.
I worry that someone will kick me.
I am a big round pumped up soccer ball.
I understand that I will be kicked onto the goals.
I say kick me into the goals.
