Made of latex
filled with air
how'd it get
way up there?
Round and shiny
packed with helium
tied with string
(that's for sealing 'em)
Sometimes red
sometimes blue
maybe at
a party for you
Fill one up
with some water
when summer comes
and it's hotter
Take it out
throw it hard
it will burst
in your yard
Get some at
the grocery store
for your friend
who's foot is sore
Bring one in
to work today
give it to
some guy named Ray
Write a note
and tie it tight
then release it
into the night
Balloons are happy
free and fun
but they will pop
when sat upon.
