Oh Them Hot Air Balloons

SOCIETY AND THE HOT AIR BALLOON

Them that need to climb
ride as the hot air balloon--
soon come down to earth

© Harry J Horsman 1992



THE VIRTUAL HOT AIR BALLOON

Ride with the rainbow--
silent as the mouse cursor
across Google earth

I really like the virtual one, Harry. It is a point of view that few see, but only one can bring to others when they write about it. Congrats on your win in the contest. Dan C
