Toiling and bubbling... something in a cauldron that you are preparing for someone else, what is it? Poison or a love potion? Perhaps a Frankenstein of your very own design. It doesn't need to be liquid or even physical but produce something by way of this mysterious art in your blog entry today.

Double Trouble Bubbles

"Double, double toil and trouble
Fire burn, and cauldron bubble."
Macbeth Act 4, scene 1, 10–11

Bubbles rising from the bottom of a cauldron,
Each pair of bubbles causing someone double trouble.

Why is it that trouble always seems to come in pairs?
Like having to replace both calipers in the front/back breaks at the same time.

I wouldn't like to cause anyone single or double trouble.
What kind of potion would I make in a cauldron?

If I did use a cauldron I'd probably make macaroni with double cheese
And then invite the neighbors over for lunch and/or supper.

Double trouble bubbles sounds like the name of a comedy/murder mystery,
With two of the witches from Macbeth thrown in for good measure.

I'm pretty sure you wouldn't want to throw two of those witches in,
They're already pissed off enough to cause Macbeth or anyone else double trouble.

When you double trouble it becomes four, eight, sixteen, etc.
That's a lot of trouble to be caused by two cauldron bubbles.

I think what we need from this double cauldron bubbles is a love/friendship potion,
Once it's created then we could unleash the potion on the world.

Can you imagine what would happen if love/friendship is doubled every two minutes,
Soon there would be friendship/love bubbles bursting all over the planet.
