Balloons, balloons! Floating through the air Balloons, balloons! Floating without a care They’re all sorts of different colors And all sorts of different shapes! Some are round and others look like animals They look so cute. I want to hold one. So I walk up to the salesman with a coin in hand. “One balloon please,” I say, as kind as I can. And now, I grasp the string in between my fingers. The sensation, it lingers. So I release it and watch the balloon float up. My body fills with glee, so I jump. The balloon, it’s soaring high. Forever lost, above the puffy clouds in the sky.
