The Bubble That Didnt Pop

Timmy blew some bubbles and he watched them Pop! Pop! Pop! But one went higher than the trees and right over the top That one big bubble floated high as though it couldn’t stop And just before it reached the sky it then began to drop Timmy stood and marvelled at the colours in its skin How could skin so very thin have all those colours in It came down low and bounced right off a nearby wheelie bin To land on Timmy’s shoulder and that really made him grin For Timmy’s at a new school so he walks alone today He hasn’t any friends with whom to talk along the way The bubble on his shoulder sat as though it wants to play And still the bubble didn’t pop which brightened up his day Now when nobody talks to you it’s easy to pretend So Timmy just imagined that he had a bubble friend He hoped the bubble wouldn’t pop for school’s just round the bend And no more would he sit alone and wait for school to end He walked into his morning class and Suzie Laine was there She was very pretty and had very lovely hair She said I like your bubble, I don’t know if you’re aware This desk isn’t taken, why don’t you pull up a chair The bubble on his shoulder did a funny little hop It landed on his desk and and made a funny little ‘Plop!’ He and Suzie giggled as it hopped and didn’t stop But can a bubble smile? This one did and then went Pop!
