Imagination

There was a chubby boy named Aflatoon
Floated down from nowhere one afternoon
wearing a baggy, funny looking pantaloon
in a colorfully decorated hot-air balloon. 

To get his hands on a blue diamond soon
That shines, oh, but once in a blue moon,
Woebegone he landed in a muddy lagoon  
And that made him go as crazy as a loon.

So he lay moored with a limp balloon
Like a sunken ship after a fiery typhoon,
Boy, he better do something pretty soon	
All shall perish by the gloom of the moon.
