Extended version of my poem “For a Dad”

Over a week ago in this blog, I posted For a Dad.

Today I thought of two more sentences to add

to that poem (I like its flow).

The extended version of it can be found below:

For Father’s Day (third Sunday of June),

a “Happy Father’s Day” message is on a balloon

(hovering aloft). Helium: what it’s got.

It’s not to be popped

cuz it’s going to Pop.

The balloon got inflated

(to rise and float).

I hope this delights

(like a dad joke)…

Here’s the link to the poem when it was shorter:

For Father’s Day (third Sunday of June),

I’m not sure which version is better (latter or former?)

For Father’s Day (third Sunday of June),

a “Happy Father’s Day” message is on a balloon

(hovering aloft). Helium: what it’s got.

It’s not to be popped

cuz it’s going

to Pop…

This poem has a name;

For a Dad is its moniker.

Hopefully that balloon helps

make that day awesomer.
