Turned White

Chewed some used gum Got sick real quick In shock saw Doc Turned white last rites Then bled soon dead Bells rang cling-clang Grave made taps played Laid down in ground 'Used sod' pleased God Star light good night December 16, 2020 FOOTLE-me Poetry Contest Sponsor: Brian Strand

Let this be a lesson to avoid that ABC gum... nicely written in a quite restrictive format. Well done, friend and congrats for your win. Enjoy the celebrations of the season ~ John
