BALLOON GUY

 

The gender of a hot air balloon

Is distinctly male by definition

The obvious thing to compare

Is of course it’s full of hot air

And to get it to move even a little bit 

You have to light a fire under it

MAN A BALLOON

 

A hot air balloon is male,

Because, to get it to go anywhere

You have to light a fire under it,

And of course it’s full of hot air.

HUMEROUS HAIKU # 2

 

Recently I had

A ballooning holiday

- I put on four stones

BALLOONING

 

Of all the pastimes

Which defy all logic

Hot air ballooning

Must be the most fantastic

You take off

With no controls to ponder

At the mercy of the wind

Into the great blue yonder

Floating up and away

Heart fit to blow a gasket

Gripping the handrail

And stood in a picnic basket

A Bunsen burner flames

Under a piece of fabric

Hot air ballooning

Must be the most fantastic

Heart fit to blow a gasket
Gripping the handrail
And stood in a picnic basket
A Bunsen burner flames
Under a piece of fabric
Hot air ballooning
Must be the most fantastic

A MAN IN A HOT AIR BALLOON # 2

 

A Man in a hot air balloon

Has lost his bearings

As he slowly floated by

 

He looks down below

And shouts to a man

“Hello, Where am I”?

 

“Well you tell me mate”

The man shouted back

“You have a better view than I”

A MAN IN A HOT AIR BALLOON # 1

 

A man in a hot air balloon

Has lost his bearings

As he slowly floated by

 

He looks down below

And shouts to a man

“Hello, where am I”?

 

“Are you completely mad?”

The man shouted back

“You’re floating in the sky”
