DLTK's Crafts for Kids
The Lost Balloon

by Evaleen Stein
 

O dear! my purple toy balloon
Has flown away! and very soon
It will be high up as the moon!

And don't you think the man up there
Will wonder what it is, and stare?
Perhaps hell say, "Well, I declare!"

Or, maybe if it chance there are
Some little boys in yonder star,
And if it floats away so far,

Perhaps they'll jump up very high
And catch the cord as it goes by!
At any rate I hope they'll try!
