Up in a hot air balloon,
Drifting too close to the Moon.
Cotton wool clouds scud below,
Worried how high we should go.

Suddenly came a large bird,
Did something really absurd.
Pecked the balloon with great force,
Bang, then we hurtle off course.

Plummet like stone to the ground
All in a maelstrom of sound.
Land in a heap upside down,
Adrenolin seems to be brown.

"Please leave a message" says the voice,
"Your call can't be put through.
The person you are trying to call,
Will get right back to you.

Or call again, some other time,
If they don't answer then.
Your bill will start to escalate,
And still you won't know when,

You'll get to speak to who you want
Or even IF you will.
But if eventually you do.
It will be such a thrill"
