Elevate and Irony

Kevin Hulme

Some terrible News and such a Shame,

For Planners of Birthdays and Weddings again.

The Sales of Balloons are disappointingly down,

The Company announced when the figures were found:

For Inflation they say is the culprit to blame.

    A fun read with word play better than deflation I guess.

    • Kevin Hulme

      Deflation? Not since Viagra. Thanks for Reading.👍

        Oh that type.... does it have to be blown up?

        • Kevin Hulme

          My past Girlfriends were never 'Blown-Up.
          They were all real.😗

          • sorenbarrett

              Your warning is a tad too late, mate - the balloon went up a good while back...

              • Kevin Hulme

                Hate it when my Tad is late. Overslept as usual no doubt. Thanks for Reading.

                • Doggerel Dave

                  In that kind of heat oversleep all you want...

                    Very Hot at the Moment 🔥

                      Same advice I gave orchi:
                      Cold shower or sit in front of fan and spray yourself with water.

                        Your not wrong. Nothing like a good 'Carry on' film to make you smile. Thanks for Reading.

                          Most enjoyable smiles as well!

                          Kevin, this gave me a good laugh! 🤣 The steady build-up makes the final line pop beautifully, and the play on "inflation" is delightfully cheeky. A fun little piece, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏
