Caveat: Poem #1502 “Retail anecdote”

ㅁ
A boy announced he wanted three balloons.
His mother bought them, and they left the store.
I saw the three balloons adrift in air,
just twenty minutes later - trucks below.
The mother came back in and heaved a sigh,
and smiling, said, I need three more balloons.

– a short story in blank verse (iambic pentameter) about working in a small-town gift shop.
