Balloon

Mother got me a balloon today

It is red with a picture of a cat

I took it out to show it to all my friends

And we played in the garden

Just under the big tree

I asked Michael to hold

My new balloon

And run to blue slide

When I looked the balloon was gone

And Michael was playing with another kid

I run home with tears to tell mom

She looked at me and smiled

Then she opened her bag

And took a new balloon

A green balloon

She kissed me

Mother got me a balloon today

I wonder how many more

She has in her bag
