First, we must consider the many types of balls. One of these types are sport balls , such as footballs , basketballs , volleyballs , rugby balls , tennis balls , table tennis balls , golf balls and more . If one of these balls was interviewed, what would they say? It would probably be something like: “I get beaten / kicked / smacked around every day of my life.” This is probably a complete summary of a sport ball's life, until it gets lost / cracked / popped.
On the other hand, there are meat balls, such as fish balls, beef balls, pork balls, and any-other-type-of-meat balls. These balls do not live very long, but a life summary of a meat ball would be something like: “I get moulded from meat, cooked and eaten.” In other words, they live for a few days at most, if kept refrigerated. But what if part of a meatballs imaginary brain was retained after digestion? It would say: “I survived the fall down the oesophagus, the acid pools in the stomach, travelled the long and winding large intestine, and escaped the ravages of the anus.”
Then there are the toy balls, such as rubber balls, marbles, juggling balls, a ball of string etc. These balls are mainly used for playing with, rather than being smacked by bats, feet, paddles and other instruments. These balls appeal most to puppies, kittens, young children, older children and jugglers. These balls undergo the same process every day: “I get pushed / thrown / flicked / tossed in the air / rolled around day after day.” The near-extinction of balls of string are largely due to less old ladies wanting to knit, or the invention of the evil “spool of thread “. Other types of toy balls simply tend to get lost after a while; either misplaced or, more commonly, escaped the owner to find other colonies of balls. 
Planets are also balls, albeit on a much larger scale. The planets in our solar system include Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. Pluto used to be a planet, until it was demoted to the rank of sub-planet, much to Plutonians' dismay. Other balls in the reaches of space include moons (natural satellites), comets, stars, atoms, electrons, neutrons and protons. (Asteroids and meteors do not count, as most of them are irregularly shaped.)
Most balls tend to be round, but some strange balls, such as rugby balls, are shaped oddly to suit their original purpose better. Balls come in all colours and sizes, but the most common visible ball known to man is the eyeball. (The word visible is included; meaning can be seen by the naked eye, because otherwise, the atom family would be taking over. They're still seething now, so remember to read this part quietly. ) 
Eyeballs are the most common visible ball as there are two of them to nearly all humans and animals (even if they aren't used), and these are the most widespread visible living things on the entire planet. There may in fact be more eyeballs on other planets too, but no one knows.Now we come to invisible balls. These refer to the balls visible individually only through microscopes. These balls are the building balls of everything, and we could never do without them (because we wouldn't exist). You can find invisible balls everywhere, from the reaches of outer space to the loving auntie's/grandma's house to the inside of your own nostrils. These balls are fundamental to fundamentals.
For planet and moon balls, life is pretty much the same all the time: “I rotate and revolve round and round my star/planet every day.” As for eyeballs, all they do is: “Detect light and send impulses to the brain so the Big Cheese can tell what's going on.” In fact, some of them don't even do this! Invisible balls simply exist, sometimes revolving around something or bonding with another.After this post, you have hopefully been enlightened on what it means to be a BALL.
