Another commodity to be traded
Not unlike gold or hog bellies
Or human flesh, but now
They trade helium
On the world markets.
Who knew? There
Is a shortage of helium
Caused by the exploding
Demand for party balloons.
It seems we’re celebrating
From Boise to Beijing
And the clowns have cornered
The helium market
Where there is no where to go
But up
And then
The inexorable deflating.
