I missed the plot along the way
and landed in a puddle
not deep enough to drown the lot
so I stayed there blowing bubbles.

Gurgle, gurgle - this is fun
for one who could swim free
because blowing bubbles not the norm
in any given circumstance.

So in the water not quite sane
the one who could swim free remains
and to this day believes, you see
that bubbles “make the man”.

And I know to blow, blow bubbles,
when the water rises so
but what in shallow waters
mind perceives as bubble level?

I cannot will an undertow
or call the wrath of heaven down
to make that water grow ~
and so I simply have to say
I’m blowing bubbles in a puddle
over, over again,
because after bubble, bubble,
comes toil and trouble!

Gosh, dear Helen, are you ok? I guess yes, as you have told us the story.

Tragicomic, a wet bubbling read!

Love bubbles, but not those bubbles!

Hugs, dear Poetess.

  Yes, I'm fine thanks, Margherita.  Other people aren't though and all I can do is ... blow bubbles.

I know how to blow bubbles too

a fond memory of childhood came to me with this, for whatever reason
