Stuck On You

I'm a wad of gum,
Waiting patiently
You're my lowly victim,
So unsuspectingly

All gooey on a sidewalk,
Diggin' your classy shoes
A sticky treat is lurking,
And you don't have a clue!

I can see your sole,
I even know your size
SQUISH! I finally got you,
Oh, what a sweet surprise!

I'm laughing as you curse,
Then scurry to the grass
Strings of sticky chaos,
Is now a pesky mass!

Now scrape your gummy shoe,
Along that rugged curb
Have I gotten next to you?
Your face looks quite disturbed!

Remove that soily heel,
Submit to your defeat
You look like Captain Ahab,
While limping down the street!

Your poem is fun and whimsical. I like point of views that are "out of the box".
