Feeling Tied Down!
When I was born,
I was little
and perfectly flat.
Now I'm
big, round and puffy;
(or some might say fat.)
When I was born,
I was free;
Not a thing
held me down.
Now I'm bound
to a string
which is bound
to a clown.
When I was born,
I was sure
that I'd float
through the air.
But that dream
has deflated,
and it's just not fair!
When I was born,
I was brave.
Nothing hurt me
at first.
Now I'm so scared
of pins, I'm afraid I
might burst!
WHAT AM I?
