RED BALLOONS

There was a knock upon my door; I knew not who it was,
but I then went to check it out, and that was all because
I waited for a GIFT package, was hoping for it soon--
but opening my door I found a clown with RED balloons!
Now, the clown I could relate to--I'm a nut on my own!
But RED balloons for my pure joy--and I'm already grown!!
I took them all into my house; and it was time to play--
We played until the night breeze blew, and then they flew away.
The moral of this tale is to not be suckered by
a tall clown holding red balloons--he's only there to fly!!
