bubblegum


by wiggly jones, "the little hippie boy"


one, two, three, four
tigers growl and lions roar
or is it the other way around?
i buy my bubblegum by the pound

five, six, even, eight
old mother green is in a state
of delaware or oregon
and leaves bubblegum wrappers on the lawn

nine, ten, eleven, twelve
henry ford has fired his elves
and retired to a castle in mexico
wth bubble gum stuck to his toes

thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, sixteen
i am good, how have you been?
the price of bubblegum keeps rising
but is that really so surprising?

seventeen, eighteen, nineteen, twenty
bubble had good, and gum had plenty
bubble and gum shared thanksgiving dinner
and the sun went down on all poor sinners
