My Name is Hank Helium

I’m Lighter than air

You’ve seen me in chipmunks, balloons, and the sun

I am a noble gas so I am stable and fair


I fill up balloons

I am known by He

I have one friend

He’s not as stable as me

I’m a non-metal

And I float lightly and proud
 

my Life

Hi! The name’s Helium, Hank Helium, but you can call me He for short (thats the letter H and E not he). I was born in Greece in 1865. The name Helium actually means “sun”, pretty cool right. Speaking of cool don’t even try to get me mad because I don’t boil until -268.6 degrees Celsius and I won’t have a meltdown until -270 degrees Celsius (boiling and melting point) but no matter how hard you try I won’t be a solid. Well back to my birth, my father (creator) was Pierre Jansson. I was born from radioactive decay.


Now, let go to my job. I usually fill up balloons at kids parties but i can do more. In some cases I have saved lives (no, don’t mean falling off a building and landing on a balloon). Some people have lung conditions where they have to breath in helium. But I’m not saying filling balloons aren’t fun, I’m a celebrity for it people play with me at parties and make noises like me most people know my name. What a life.
