The boy in the bubble has lots of cool toys
made of iron and steel and graphite-alloys.
His GI-Joe set is totally rad!
Such realistic toys for a such a young lad.

If you look close enough, you might think they’re real,
with squishable parts and blood that congeals!
All of his play-things are remote-controlled.
That’s just how things work in the Bubble household.

So the boy in the bubble’s a happy young man
as he plays with his dolls by himself in the sand.
“Lookee here dad!” The boy cries with glee.
“My hummer got blow’d-up by that IED!”

“Good for you son.” The old man replies,
his own bubble warm, resting his eyes.
So the boy in the bubble returns to his play,
discarding each toy as it breaks or decays.
