The Laugh Bubble
As I was walking down the road last week,
Quite alone, no one around,
I thought of something funny that I’d said
And as I took a breath to laugh
A little bubble gurgled in my throat
And popped out of my mouth!
It floated in the air in front of me,
As I walked along the street
Bobbing gently just below my nose
Glinting pearly blue and green,
A perfect circle of happy thoughts
Made entirely by me.
I tried to catch it in both my hands
So I could show it to you
But just when I thought I had caught it at last
A gust of wind suddenly blew,
And my little laugh bubble went spinning away,
a tiny translucent balloon.
