My favorite part of the newspaper

My dad used to fill the newspaper sack with air
And then close his fist on it to form a bubble
Then —I think just for my amusement— pop it!
If I was right there he’d let me try to pop it haha
I wonder if he did this at work (the newspaper)
Or was it all for me since I’m easily amused? :)
I’ve tried to do this myself but it’s not the same

There's a punchline there somewhere, I'm sure. Your father sounds like he was fun.

He was! :) I miss his sense of humor. :(
