#226 Chewing Lulu

Lulu loved gum

She chewed it all the time

She chewed on it in school

She chewed on it at church

She chewed on it at home

When she slept

She tucked it between her lip and gum

“Like a cowboy” She was wont to say

Her mother told her she shouldn’t

Her father told her not to swallow it

And if she did it would stay in her stomach for life

Her Teacher said that you are what you eat

Her Sister said “Gross!!”

Lulu chewed her gum

And when she was done

She would always

Every time

Never forgot

And always enjoyed

Swallowing her gum

When Lulu was sixteen

She chewed

Ten pieces

Of Grape Hubba Bubba

She loved how it smelled

She dreamed

Of being a huge

Purple

Lulu sized piece of grape bubble gum

Of course

She swallowed every piece

And you are what you eat

When she woke up the next day

And went out to play

A 100 foot giant came by

And picked her up

Popped her in his mouth

And chewed her

Blew a bubble

And smiled

Because Lulu

Tasted just like

Grape Hubba Bubba
