Bobby Bubble

My home is in the atmosphere, my name is Bobby Bubble 
Everywhere I float around, I always get in trouble 
I floated passed a tree one day, to visit Dr. Seuss 
But sitting in the tree I passed, was Mrs. Mother Goose
 
I asked her if she knew where Dr. Seuss was... 
And if she had seen him around 
She replied, "I think he went that-a-way cuz" 
Then she pointed to the ground
 
I waited for the wind to blow... 
so that I can catch a ride 
But it blew towards a cave of bats 
And it carried me inside
 
A thousand eyes were looking at me 
As I floated all alone 
I was scared, I wanted out 
I wanted to get home
 
A thousand wings have fluttered
And it caused the wind to swirl 
It blew me round and round so fast
You should have seen me twirl
  
The wind was fierce and pushed me out 
Then I landed in some rubble
Things got a little worse, when I had burst... 
And split- now I have a double

OMG! What a treasure this one is! I could envision everything you described. I loved the thousand eyes that were looking at him. I just pictured solid black, and a thousand little glowing eyes, wondering who this person was interfering with their, "hang time". Loved it! Congratulations on your win!
