I think I keep strange company,
Or maybe it keeps me.
They make it hard to move around,
There’s two…nope, now there’s three.
I lug them everywhere I go,
A motley looking crew.
I’d get one off my arm at least
To get back down to two.
I know they say that chewing gum
Can help out quite a bit,
But every time I try to chew
I have nowhere to spit.
Yes, for awhile it seems to work,
The gremlins go away,
But with a bite or two of food
They come back out to play.
I wouldn’t mind so much if they
Came at me with a crumb,
But when they chase me in a gang
I’m always chewing gum!
Reowr 
hmmm…when I chew gum, I don’t spit, I swallow…why I’d never chaw tabacchy.
I don’t swallow because I hate the thought of growing gummy trees in my stomach. At least, that’s what I’ve been told would happen if I did.
I think I must have missed something here.
That’s okay, there wasn’t much to begin with.
Hahahah
😀
It’s always at the most inconvenient times, isn’t it?
It’s like they know…
Hi, thanks for popping over to my blog. My partner worked for Wrigleys before I met him. I always fancy a chewing gum but as soon as I’ve chewed off the outer case, I get bored with it. I wrap my gum in paper, if I can find any, or failing that, I hold it in my mouth until I see a bin. Never swallow, No, No, No. I listened to the Old Wives Tales. Ha. 🙂
Yeah, I find gum loses flavor too quickly. It’s better when you chew 2 at a time. Always spit!
Ha, that’s what I should do then. 2 at a time. Sorted. Thanks. 🙂
How clever! Never knew Wrigley’s gum had a gang of food! They sound very clingy 🙂
Yeah, a sad-looking pink donut, a scary-looking coffee cup, a faceless pizza, a half-peeled banana, and a few other evil critters.
Well I am impressed with all the info you have on the once again odd topic!
I guess I watch commercials more than the average cat. I’m surprised at how few people seem to know about them.
Well I do remember this cuz I am of old age!
You are a clever one:)
My whiskers do most of the work. 🙂
Do you remember making those gum wrapper chains?? It was pretty fun and mindless…
Some of the best things are exactly that…fun and mindless… 🙂
I know exactly the commercials you mention lol, very creative poem 🙂
Love those commercials. Cute little stinkers. 🙂
Hahaha! Good poem 🙂
😀
Have you ever considered writing children stories? The rhythm, images, and structure of your poems would be perfect for children (as well as adults of course). Just saying 🙂 You have a great talent!
Thank you very kindly. For now, I just write what I write and hope that there is an audience for whatever comes out. 😉
This is the type of poem that makes a person think. It also made me smile. Thanks
Glad it made you smile! 🙂
I also agree with what Nilly suggests, children would respond well to your writing. My granddaughter adores Room on the Broom. It, like your poems, has an internal rhyme; which makes it such pleasure to read aloud.
I have no idea what children’s poetry is like these days, but I will check out that section next time I’m at a bookstore. 🙂
