The Great Gravitational Nature of Gum

Contributed by dtborchert on Monday, 6th December 2004 @ 01:21:11 PM in AEST
Topic: HumorPoetry




I was on my way to school,
When I stepped in some muck,
And when I tried to move along,
I noticed I was stuck.

My foot I tried to free,
And I pried with all my might,
And then I was met
With such a gooey sight.

Right upon my brand new shoe
Was purple bubble gum.
I shook my foot to get it off,
Until my leg went numb.

Still it wouldn’t budge,
And I scraped it on the street.
But on my shoe there was
Still a tasty little treat.

So I went along,
Though I didn’t get to far,
Cause the gum got stuck
To a little plastic jar.

I tried to get it off,
But it would not budge.
So I on to school I went
With an awkward trudge.

I really got a shock,
For it happened just like that,
When I mistakenly hopped
On the tail of a fat cat.

Oh you shoulda heard him squeal.
I had rotten luck.
In the jar his bushy tail,
Truly did get stuck.

So on one foot I did hop.
What was I to do?
I had gum, a jar, and cat
Stuck right to my shoe.

He then tried to free his tail
Right from that little jar.
And as we passed it by,
He latched onto a car.

Well that was all it took,
And I came to a quick halt.
Not one step could I take
It was gravity at fault.

I marveled at the gum,
And its capability
Maybe I’ll tell NASA,
Of its great utility.

And then I had a thought,
For it’s only a short walk,
And off to school I went,
In one shoe and just my sock.
