Mr.BalloonMan

4 balloons floated in the air.
Red, Blue, Yellow and Black.
Red like a raging fire-storm,
Blue like tears,
Yellow like happy stars,
Black like his fears.

One day, A shouting crocodile came and
handed him Red.
A little girl ran along and
handed him Blue.
He watched the balloons and
just stood there.

Day by day,
he watched the children on the hills play.
He ran towards and Yellow he took.
He made them smile
and sometimes choke.

Red and Blue flew away,
out of sight.
Yellow grew larger,
till it sheltered the sun's oh-so-bright.
Now, the children cant play.
They looked at him
and started to chat.

Black came along and looked at him.
"You have gone too far,
give away yellow and take me back."
And he did.
