The Dirigible Balloon
Poetry for Children

Impossibility

No metal's booming clang,
No bell's resounding dong,
No door's surprising bang,
No crow's annoying song,

No horse's piercing neigh,
No swarm's alarming drone,
No donkey's jarring bray,
No maddening message tone,

No socks unwashed and smelly,
No thunder's scary clap,
No tickles on his belly
Can break my grandpa's nap.
