gum is like a drug, if you think about it
it's illegal at school but you can't help yourself
you've got to have that gum
so you sneak a piece when no one's looking
chewing slowly, secretly
the sugar high is amazing
and you smile in spite of yourself
then the teacher sees it
the gum in your open mouth
she says go spit it out
but the gum is like a drug
you take another piece
you just have to have it
that wonderful gum drug [comments] => 3 [counter] => 187 [topic] => 43 [informant] => lost13 [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 4 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => oops )
