The Helium Balloons
The helium balloons adhere,
Now partially deflated,
To the ceiling, rating not a glance,
Though they had been awaited.
Of course, there was excitement
When at first they were presented.
Their absence surely would have been
Acknowledged and lamented.
But two weeks later, they are stuck,
Now finished with fulfilling
Their purpose, so they cling to life,
Their insides slowly spilling.
