The Bubble Wizard

06 June 2010

The bubble wizard worked his magic and all the town stopped to watch. He

wielded rainbows of wonky melting glass that floated high, bursting into rain.

Two small boys staked themselves in front of the wizard. They taunted,

"You can't get passed me!" and burst each bubble before it could fly.

Their sinister laughter and shrill cries drove me to abandon all hope

of catching more whimsical blubbering orbs float through the sky.

The boys finally tired themselves and sauntered home, soaking wet from the bubble guts.

The wizard approached me and shared his homemade bubble concoction's secret

ingredient. "I don't tell the parents, but mostly it's J-Lube. You know, for fisting."
