Bubble Hop!

Vol. 1  Chap. 490

           Bubble Hop!

       Times When San Diego’s Shakin',

       Our New Transports Should Be Taken!

       Not Cars, In Case Bridges Collapse,

       Or Sink Holes Swallow Them Perhaps!

       That’s Not a Time to Be Flying!

       Airports Can Be Rather Trying,

       When Landing on a Long Tarmac

       That Sports a Rather Wide, Wide Crack!

       You Need Solutions Fast!   Chop~Chop!

       So We Invented "Bubble Hop"!

       Follow the Yellow Brick Road, Friend!

       Skip All the Way Down to the End!

       Audrey and I Will Demonstrate

       The Bubble Hop System!   Don’t Wait!

       There’s Bubbles to Fit Ev’ry Size!

       Need More Space?   We Customize!

       Be Prepared For the Next Big Quake!

       Hover Safely!   Watch the Ground Shake!

       And When It’s Time To Float Back Down,

       You Can Exit on Safe, Firm Ground!

I Witness!

Vol. 1  Chap. 489

            I Witness!

     Late Fish Huddle in Tidal Pools

     Praying Some Way They’ll Find Their 
     Schools!

     Six Hours ‘Til Next High Tide Again!

     Hungry Predators Closing In!

     Above Clouds Scud Past the Full Moon!

     The Coven Gathered Late Last June!

     I Witnessed This Rarest Event

     My Mom’s a Delegate They Sent!

     The Fire Crackles!   The Seagulls Screech!

     Strange Witches' Cackles Fill This Beach!

     An Eerie Scene, This Odd Nocturn!

     There’s Work Ahead, ‘fore They Adjourn!

     Ease~Dropping, I Catch Some Phrases,

     The Breadth of Which, Still Amazes!

     They Cast a Spell on Mid~East Nukes!

     War~Heads Test Fine!   Rockets Can’t 
     Boost!

     They Correct Wrongs Throughout This 
     Worl'!

     “Is She Our Mom?”, Asks This Stunned 
     Girl!

     Later, Fire Dowsed, the Others Gone,

     We Guard That Tidal Pool ‘Til Dawn!

Happy Birthday America!

Vol. 1  Chap. 488

       Happy Birthday America!

      Our Voices Harmonize, “Ooooh!”, “Aaaah!”

      Today’s the Day America

      Turns Two Hundred Forty~Three Years!

      She’s Seen Great Highs!   She’s Shed Some Tears!

      We Trekked Out to Arizona,

      Where Iron Mike’s the Persona

      Of America’s Fighting Force!

      But Claudia’s the Boss, of Course!

      Mom’s Smile is Plastered to Her Face

      From the Time She First Sees This Place!

      Mom’s Offers to Help are Declined

      So By the Pool, Poor Mom’s Reclined!

      There’s the New Gramma, Auntie Kate!

      Her Joe and Kasey Did Just Great

      Birthing Scarlet Rose … She’s Perfect!

      Yo, Joe and Kasey … Mad Respect!

      All Around Us, Proud Family
