This Chewing Gum Is So Long And So Thin ~ Poem by M. Asim Nehal

This chewing gum is so long and so thin,
It's like a never-ending elastic string,
I chewed and I chewed, but it never ends,
No matter how much I try to pretend,
I pulled and I pulled, it stretched to my surprise,
As if it had grown wings and decided to rise.

From my mouth, it flew across the room,
sticking to the wall like a sticky balloon,
It stuck to the cat, oh what a delight,
running around with gum in its fur, what a sight!
I chased after it with soap and a sponge,
but that sticky gum just clung and clung,
eventually, I had to cut it away,
leaving the cat's fur looking a little astray.

But the gum was still there, it had barely been touched,
not even a dent, not even a smudge,
It stretched on forever, it seemed to defy,
all logic and reason, it reached for the sky,
I tried to chew it some more, to make it shrink,
but the more I chewed, the longer it did link.

Now it draped down from my mouth like a rope,
I could use it to climb up a very steep slope,
It's become quite a nuisance, this chewing gum so thin,
I'm tangled in it now, quite literally, from toe to chin,
Now, if you see me struggling and trying to break free,
please lend a hand, and help me un-stick this chewy spree!
