Globophobia

I remember way back in second grade
I was at a classmate's birthday party
Cake had been eaten and games had been played

Laughs all around were full and hearty

But next came a game I had never seen

With messages hidden inside balloons

Balloons that were red yellow blue and green 

But we'd have to sit on and pop them soon

I put a balloon right under my rear

And then tried to sit down to make it pop

But soon I was filled up with a great fear

And I could not sit; I just had to stop

I learned I was scared of balloons that day

And since then I have kept them far away
