Balloon Ride

I saw a balloon the other day
I pulled the string,it started to play.
" A magical balloon." was on the note
All of a sudden I started to float.
Upward higher than any tree
higher and higher in the summer breeze.
Floating up among the clouds
higher than any balloon would be allowed.
Into space black as night
I closed my eyes and held on tight.
Suddenly I heard a popping sound
faster and faster falling to the ground
Then I awoke
realizing my toy balloon had broke.
