The day after my birthday party,
kipper found a soggy blue balloon in the garden.
It was odd because the balloons at my party were
red and white.
I blew it up at first, I thought it was just an
ordinary balloon but now I am not so sure.
It is shiny and squeaky
and you can make rude noises with it
and if you give it a rub you
can stick it on the ceiling
just like an ordinary balloon.
But there is something odd about my balloon.
It doesn’t matter how much you
blow it up, it just goes on getting bigger and bigger
You see it never bursts never ever I have squeezed it
squashed it and whacked it with a stick
I have kicked it, run it over and stretched
it and kipper has attacked it but it is indestructible.
I think my balloon has strange and wonderful powers
The other day it disappeared completely.
And when it came back it was square.
And this morning while I was taking it for a walk
It decided to take me for a fly
It took me up and up
And up oops
And finally down
It was quite a trip, but we were back in time for tea.
So if you find a soggy old balloon
Whatever you do, don’t throw it away
Especially if it is a blue one
You never know what it will do next?
