Jules Feiffer says he was a failure as a child because he could neither throw or catch a ball. He couldn’t wait to grow up.(and draw cartoons)
And here is Frizztext’s “B” Poem, using ball, of course:
B is for Ball
Bounced By a child
Blue as the heart
whose love has run wild
Blacklisted and Broken
writ in Blank verse
Bloodied or Blooming
a wound that we nurse
Blasphemed in Bondage
Bankrupt of Bliss
all can Be cured
with just one
kiss
