tennis balls

it was my turn to buy tennis balls...(to play tennis with , obviously)...feeling cheap and on a tight budget...i resented this acquisition...non-the-less...i made the purchase...and we went to the court...and there it was...right in front of us...a gaggle  of tennis balls...some of which were brand new...spread all over the court...and to make it even weirder...i had just been there an hour or so before...and there was not a tennis ball to be  found...all but one...you see , the week before...i had kicked a tennis ball straight up in the air and it got stuck in the tree...and there it was still...thirty feet above me...lodged in an impossible position...almost as impossible as the herd of balls sprayed all over the count .
