99 red balloons
Released into the summer sky
See how they stick together
Looks like they are a little shy
The brave ones float apart
Experiencing what it is to fly
Soon the others follow
Grinning, shouting, all eager to try!
99 red balloons
Spread out in the open sky
Each leaving the other behind
In a race to a new high
And when one red balloon
Bumps into another flying by
They rub a little off each other
And go their way with a merry cry!
(What? Big words are inappropriate for a nursery rhyme. Something tells me I will do well in journalistic position with TOI.)

The balloons just kept rising
Up towards the sky
Not very surprising
They wanted to go high
The air got much much thinner
And the balloons wouldn't stop
Until the current winner
Just suddenly went pop
The others stared with fright
As more of them went away
Was this to be their plight?
An end so very gray?
The few left then slowed down
By releasing their own air
Let's enjoy the ground some more
They said
We still have time to spare!
The little one was near tears
In all a child's despair
And then a lone red balloon
Brushed against her hair!
Damn you are good! And no inappropriate words too. How long did this take?
I still remember your best one (okay, i havent seen too many) - the birthday mail you came up with in 5 mins!
