No CPR.
No refrigeration for contemplation.
No social media reference.

GUM DROP PRINCIPLE
Gum drops are like Races of all people
Assortments of all shapes and sizes
Small components with sugar rush
Flavorful and tasteful
The end result being delightful
Feeling of content and well pleased
It’s not the color
It’s the association, acquaintance and friendship feel
Without the association there is connection
It’s the heart felt loving paying attention
Total experience of sensation
Gum Drops uplift
Relating to Race

Chewing Gum
You ever get this idea in your head. This menacing feeling chewing on your brain like that moment you decide to swallow your chewed gum. The insecurity that everything in your life is just plain wrong. You wake up fine or even happy yet with a smile upon your face you sit blindly scratching open

The Many Uses of Bubble Gum
In my youth, I made
A bubble gum ball . . .
That over time just got bigger and bigger, usually.
It was sticky icky, just like me.
It splattered perfectly onto the wall . . .
The bubble gum wall!
That over time became a work of Art.
Always getting bigger, usually.
Also, a

Bubble Gum Kisses
our love is like bubble gum kisses
sweet and sticky a childish delight
a playful game of back and forth wishes
holding hands we soar to new heights
our hearts beat in sync with every chew
an explosion of flavor a burst of bliss
with every kiss our love feels anew
a moment frozen in time we won't miss
but as the gum

A blue pop with a gum inside
A field of flowers.
A field of miracles.
A map of memories.
A destination to be determined.
A chart inside a labyrinth of the mind.
A twitch. A jolt. A lightning bottle.
A picture in paint. A remembrance of fire.
A color of love, bold and fearless.
A dream of hope, timeless and divine.
A sweet imagination, a brilliant manifestation.
A

Bubble Gum
You may have heard the story of Tom Thumb;
and how he was a tiny little boy.
But what about his sister, Bubble Gum,
she also brought her proud parents much joy.
Just one inch taller than Tom, she wasn't tall,
but her heart was as big as hearts can get.
And she loved picking flowers most of all;
rushing to get

Pity all of those rest home fellows
Over time all their hunger mellows
Without their dentures in
All their meals will begin
Sipping their soup and slurping Jellos

Abc Gum
What’s the difference between now and then
why was life so much better way back when
Might be it was because we had no care
when it comes to talking ‘bout how we’d share
Whether was clothes, a coke, secrets or shoes
or anything else I thought you could use
No worries sharing things we were doing
we even shared the gum

Gum
If my taste starts to fade, stick around I'm in style
Evergreen, Peppermint, did I just see you smile?
Chew my wad, blow a bubble
Be minty fresh on the double
I am gum, chew on that for a while
I please and abide like your loyal chum
Then you spit me out like a skid row bum
But chew me at

Flavored Bubble Gum
All kids love bubble gum
So, they made a wish and
The bubble gums magically came to life
And begins to put on a show
There's pink aka pinky
Grape, cherry and strawberry
Pink loves to sing, as she sings
She gets bigger and bigger
And then floats away
And then there's grape, he magical
And loves to dance, when he do
He turns light

Parent Threatens To Withdraw School Child
Promote my Charles to the next class.
I know The Idiot did not pass.
Yet, I’d tell ears you have to,
Whether to it or not prone to…
Hundred percent sure you need it,
No need digging collective pit:
Your school from head to toe Private;
Rather few of your staff Graduate
Among them A Clark Porter,
Who is eyeing my young daughter
Some while

Swallowing Gum
Anticipation building, excitement on the rise
Melodies of heaven as sung through your blue eyes
I hope I can keep standing, my knees often get weak
Whenever I stand near you, and I can barely speak
