I can breathe fire,
But I want to fly.
I walk the city
Coughing flames.
People marvel at my firey breath,
They think I'm amazing.
But I don't want to breathe fire,
I want to fly.
So i built this contraption,
and now my fire makes me fly.
Higher in the sky
I see the city down below.
I can breathe fire,
And now I can fly.

I wrote this poem as a sort of narrative to an advertisement I saw. picture link: http://creatito.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/20090619-pringles-baloon.jpg
