Girl with red shoes and green balloon
Saw you steal it from birthday party as you walked by fence
You also stole my heart
Please meet me for stale birthday cake
Friday, 8 p.m.
Same location
To return heart
Or give me yours in exchange
It only seems fair

The above is my first attempt at a Flash 55.

Yes! Boy with white sneakers will surely jump at the opportunity. If not, the boy with white sneakers and the girl with red shoes will both be feeling blue...isn't that patriotic? Not sure what flash 55 is but you did a good job on this.
