Welcome
Fly my balloon, to freedom;
A balloon is a flexible bag filled with a gas, such as helium, hydrogen, nitrous oxide or air.
Early balloons were made of dried animal bladders.
Modern balloons can be made from materials such as rubber, latex, polychloroprene or a nylon fabric.
Some balloons are purely decorative, while others are used for specific purposes such as meteorology, medical treatment, military defense, or transportation.
A balloon's properties, including its low density and relatively low cost, have led to a wide range of applications.
Freedom, what a beautiful thing,
Above the trees you hear birds sing.
The freedom you see in a balloon,
You'll think that it could fly to the moon.
But what so little people realise,
Is on the way on it's flight,
The balloon goes 'POP',
Stops,
And falls back down again.
