“What Is a Bubble?” Friend, Mar. 1998, 19
What Is a Bubble?
What is a bubble?
Does anyone know?
Where does it come from?
Where does it go?
A bubble is pretty,
It dances and hops
In a rainbow of colors.
Don’t touch it—it pops!
A bubble is fragile;
A bubble’s for fun:
Balloons full of star-shine
Or sparkles of sun.
A bubble is really
Just air with a peeling;
Unlike a balloon,
It won’t bounce on the ceiling.
The blowing of bubbles
Is a magical show …
But where do they come from?
Oops! Where do they go?
