Poem Title:
Poem
Thirty-one packs of chewing gum, Clutter up my drawer, And thirty-one times thereafter, I forgot thirty-one times more, And bought thirty-one times yet again Seems somehow I found Thirty-one more times, I had thirty-one more such a yen... This went on for thirty-one more months, Till thirty-one drawers were jammed Tried to open them thirty-one times apiece, And thirty-one times closed they slammed Not only thirty-one drawers overpacked, But thirty one over heated summer days, Made thirty-one globs, Of thirty-one pounds of sticky glaze With thirty one times prying With thirty-one different sized crow bars... Thirty-one hours of trying.... Could have far easier Gone thirty one times to Mars.... But now thirty-one stringly spidery strands Of thirty one thousand gummy stringy drawer glands My kitchen is inaccessible I've tried thirty one hundred times With thirty-one ever increasing sized Machetes, and thirty one ever More dificult rhymes So I sent away for thirty one extra large Gummy-Bears, Thinking for sure thirty-one ways they knew, How to fight their way with thirty one set of claws, And make way for me or you But what I found out after thirty-one deliveries Of thirty-one huge Gummy Bears, Each Thirty-one dollars and Thirty-one sets of change And thirty-one shipping and handling Charges, and this was really strange My thirty -one huge Gummy Bears Each melted in the kitchen too Making thirty one more tons of Thirty-one sticky gobs of goo So I sealed off my kitchen with thirty-one tons of bricks, In honor of Mr. Poe, And just to get my kicks, I placed a Cask of Amontillado It's seepage made me lick my lips... Now I Barbeque on the patio, In the heat, or in the snow... Scrambled eggs a bit tricky, But better than that sticky Thirty-one varieties Of thirty one tons Of sticky goo Gettin' all over my thirty-one Inch "buns".
