Bubble Trouble

I lived in a bubble
for a long time
Sometimes I'd try
to poke through

I'd push and push
Stretch that bubble
But then.....BOING

I'd bounce right back
to the same place again

Finally one day along came a pin
Pricked a hole in the bubble's skin
Decompression pulled me out
Sadly, others were crushed within

Then I'll be befuddled
when I find myself
stuck to another bubble

Damn this bubble trouble!

Stuck to the outside
A force trying to pull me in
I almost slip through

But then I remember
I'd been given a pin

POKE!

Some inside escape like I
Others are crushed within
One thing for sure that I've determined

Ain't no way in hell I'm going back in!
