Uncle Festoon Do, You have balloons

Yes! Dear I have three cartons full

Fill some air in them, not in my pantaloons

The balloons are ready to let’s do some hull

Hold on to my kite and lemme take a bite

Okay dear child that is alright

Do you know which balloon goes high

No dear I dunno and will not lie

Uncle, please take some pastries

Wow delightful what sweet confectioneries

Look at my balloon goes above the sky

Sure dear it sways even high

Uncle Festoon do you like kiting?

Yeah child but I have a short sighting

Oh! uncle so who will fly my kite

Only pigeons can do who knows it right

The balloons are flying and lying everywhere

Try to catch them and stand on your chair

Uncle! The wind is blowing right above my head

Yes dear the ballons have fled away, I am now sad

Uncle! Can we see the balloons racing with the kite

Yes! Son but only if the sky is a little bit bright

Dear uncle do you see butterflies

Hm! Child they are foraging for honey supplies

The blue sky is drowning in setting sun rays

Yes dear we will see soon if it betrays

Uncle have you any toffy for our snack time

Yes sir I do eat them too in my prime

The happy crow is roaming around us

So do the sparrow, son! do a rumpus

Uncle Festoon can you take us home?

Yes son it is near the dome.
