Plastic

"What do you miss most about home?"

Ultimate.

It's just 175 grams of plastic,
nothing about it too fantastic.
But put it in the hands of kid,
show them how it is did,
and it becomes a lot more than a simple piece of plastic.

There's not too much in terms of instruction
on how to make it rise, fly, and function.
Show them the grip,
tell them to let it rip!
Stand back and enjoy their reaction.

Flight as a concept is fairly rare
when a child doesn't see places in their
neighborhood or town or skies.
Plastic that soars and flies
is quite a sight for a young pair of eyes.

Once they got the hand, time for tricks!
From upside down scoobers to offhand flicks!
Hammers and chicken wings
and bladey backhand things,
each throw is much more than a simple fling.

Here it is netball for girls, soccer for boys.
The real fun with introducing new toys
is I make the rules, and if it is a disc you want to hurl?
You must also give mixed gender sports a whirl.
