Classic Poem

Balloon Man:
I stand here every afternoon,
Waiting for someone to buy a balloon.
Look at the coloeurs bright and gay.
Just one penny is all you pay.
Plenty for all who come, have I,
Come and buy! Come and buy!
First Child:
I have a penny, Mother said,
So I think I'd like one of red.
Second Child:
I would like that one of green.
It is the prettiest that I've seen.
Third Child:
Lucky am I, please give me two,
One of yellow, and one of blue.
Balloon Man:
Now with your balloons just run and play,
I like to see you happy and gay.
(Children play with balloons.)
Mother:
Children! Children! Come home to tea!
First Child:
That is my Mother calling me.
All Together
Balloon man, don't go away,
We'll come and see you another day.
( Children run out saying “Good-bye!”)
