Stories & Poems
Mama pours the liquid
Into the running bath,
The bubbles start performing
And make the baby laugh.
Ten dance through the window
Nine boogie through the door,
Eight float high in the air
A new world to explore.
Seven bubbles are dancing
There’s a carnival in the street,
Six are swinging and swaying
To the happy calypso beat.
Five bubbles big and squeezy
Bounce with the disco groove,
The disco lights are buzzing
Can you see them move?
Four bubbles small and cutey
Are swirling on the ice,
See them whirling with their skates
Watch them turn and slice.
Three bubbles fat and juicy
Are bobbing up and down,
Watch them at the circus
Like the balls of a juggling clown.
Two bubbles white and fluffy
Are floating like a cloud,
One drops in the baby’s hand, POP!
Baby’s laughing loud!
