Bobby was bummed, his big grin gone, But then he spotted a bituminous bouncer with boundless brawn. The bouncer balanced Bobby on his back, Bounding and bouncing with an infectious knack. Bobby's laughter echoed through the town, As he soared on the back of that bituminous clown. Everyone cheered as they watched the show, Bituminous Bobby, the bouncing hero. So if you're feeling glum and a bit envious, Just remember, bituminous brings boundless joy, my friend, trust us!
