Watch, Practice and Learn
Two kids, two grands and four balloons,
The older kid in charge,
Morphed into a balloon class
With the merriment writ large.
Instructions varied: “Use your wrists”
Or “Alternate your hands,”
As three of us all did our best,
Obeying the commands.
Balloons were tapped or lightly punched
And floated through the air,
The outside world inconsequential
While we four were there.
The “teacher” gave his course a name
And set it to a tune.
We “watched, we practiced and we learned”
This Sunday afternoon.
