I’m doing a few clever moves
up and over the wall
with my great skateboard
look I’m under a tall lorry
whoa, that was a cool one
next I’m pacing along the road
moving in uniform
straight, straight, straight
but what’s going on now?
this guy just gave me all these balloons
but I didn’t really want them
I mean, what am I going to do?
I am still holding my skateboard
but now I’m going up
I’m flying…
and I can’t drop now

For the visually challenged reader, this image shows a man holding colorful balloons sitting on a sidewalk with a skateboard between his feet.
Written in response to Sadje‘s What Do You See #264 photo prompt.

He is having an adventure of a lifetime, flying in the air with these balloons. Thanks Chris for joining in.

Hmm, I agree – we should leave this to the kids. But I think there’s a song about Ride On though. 😉☺️😂

Very vivid verse, Chris! A skateboarder who’s handed balloons is going to accrue a lot of Frequent Flyer miles…
