Quatrain of Ball & Chain

Ball & Chain & Ball - around
your ankle

If there was a ball and chain
around life's ankle, could
you still get to a
far distant
destination?

If the ball weighed five hundred
pounds, unlikely, but a
five pound ball may
only slow your
inclination.

Everyone was born with a ball
and chain - economically or
with mental defects, or
a reason to
beg,

It's the size of ball that really
matters, find a way to shrink
it, if you wish to get
an upper
leg.
