The Biggest Ball of Gum In Buffalo ~CHALLENGE POEM~

By Desdemona

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Today, I'm off on a huge road trip I packed up some Slim Jims and some tator' chips A road map... And a old nap sack And a cooler full of Busch light beer I'm on my way to Buffalo Where the biggest ball of bubble gum grows I hope I don't step on a piece, with my toes I can't wait to stick a piece, on the end of my nose Just, like the teacher made me do in grade school Just when nothing could seem to spoil my trip I stopped to pee and there was "a backed up toilet" Poo and pee was everywhere Could it get any worse... I wonder I swear? So, I hopped back in my car and drove down the road I finally made it clear across the country Where I just about ran out of my money I didn't have enough to get me inside To see this biggest ball of gum this state did reside So, I hopped over the fence and ran like hell Boy, you must have seen this sucker It was one big huge mother f***er It was bigger than the biggest tree Taller than the Empire in New York City A lot of gum I thought in my mind I can't believe all this gum, my hearts a racin Pink and red and purple gum a blazin I wonder if they will let me take a bite? I don't know, but hey they just might So I stoled a piece and stuck it in my mouth Hey lookie what I have, a piece of the gum! Oh my gosh, oh know, Everybody run!!! The piece I had taken was making it stay Now, the ball has lost control and it's heading this way Run for the hills everyone Now, if you think all this "delightful chaos" is bad I went to jail and they had to call my dad He knows I am" Pragmatically oversensitive" and shouldn't yell at me Hey calm down dad, It's just a road trip, don't treat me like I am three Good excuse for now *Wink* So, now I am doing time in this place of hell The inmates are weird and they have a horrible smell I have to sit in here and a 1,000 pieces of gum I must chew To fix all the chaos that I had to brew This sucks majorly!!!! So, if you want to take a road trip, the big ball of gum you must see Remember I was the one that moved that big ball of castrophe It rolled down the hill and smashed into that little town Everything is fixed now and the gum is still all round Thanks to my chewing 1,000 extra pieces But in the end this was much fun I got to see sights and I chewed a lot of gum But take my advice in all of this The big ball of gum in Buffalo, is something you don't want to miss I think I am going back next year!This is a deathgoddess Challenge Poem. Write about a funny road trip. Where you went, What you are doing. Destruction you are doing. ANd you must use her images. :) Written March 19th, 2002 © on Mar 19 2002 01:25 PM PST, Lee Gillilan   0 • 14
