My Balloon To the Moon

Aboard my hot air balloon I rose above the crowds. They receded far beneath me, As I drifted through the clouds Higher still, I went. Up through the atmosphere, Ascending through an azure sky, The earth now disappeared. I saw the sky was full of stars, I gazed from my balloon. Here I was, in outer space And heading for the moon. I peered through my telescope, And focused it on Mars. I'd briefly pay a visit, Then head out to the stars. I don't know when I'll return, It probably won't be soon. For I'm off to tour the universe, In my hot air balloon.
