Mr.Gum

I know this old man name Mr Gum He lost his wife many a many year Ago.. “Oh how distraught the death of his Wife Left Mr Gum, He prayed so hard each and every Day While tears fell from his eyes Until Mrs Gum came within a Vision.. She asked Mr Gum not to worry So For she had borrowed a pair Of wings and she refuse to give Them back.. She told Mr Gum to move on with His life.. But please don’t miss heaven and go Down Satan highway.. For she was told, it was hot as fire crackers Down there below! And, If she tried to drop him a cube of ice it Would only burn his tongue I love you dearly Mrs Gum told her Husband in a vision “you see” It frighten Mr Gum something fierce “You see” So, he told Mrs Gum laugh Don’t worry honey, I Gotta a long haul yet to Go.. You enjoy your wings and And since am still in the Land of the living, I will enjoy my glass of ice Water and maybe a glass of Gin n juice...
