English poem-EIGHT BALLOONS

EIGHT BALLOONS



Eight balloons no one was buyin’
All broke loose one afternoon.
Eight balloons with strings a flyin’,
Free to do what they wanted to.
One flew up to touch the sun - POP!
One thought highways might be fun - POP!
One took a nap in a cactus pile - POP!
One stayed to play with a careless child POP!
One tried to taste some bacon fryin’ - POP!
One fell in love with a porcupine - POP!
One looked close in a crocodile’s mouth - POP!
One sat around till his air ran out - WHOOSH!
Eight balloons no one was buyin’
They broke loose and away they flew,
Free to float and free to fly
And free to pop where they wanted to.


Answer each of the following questions in a sentence or two:

1. How did the balloons become free?
2. How many balloons got burst?
3. Why did one balloon go on the highways?
4. What were the thorny surfaces?
5. How many balloons fell on thorny surfaces.
6. How many balloons burst due to heat?
