Hi Sam - an awesome fun filled poem. Children love balloons adults too. Birthdays, graduations, engagements and births would all be a reason to hold a balloon, or hang balloons on light fittings for a New Years party or tie them on gates for a house warming, I LOVE BALLOONS. Have missed your comments my friend, not that I'm much better. Hope you are well .
