Simple Joys | James Landon Buie

I was philosophizing arduously;
My hands rumbled my pocket for some gum.
Taking a piece, I placed it right on my tongue,
To sooth my intellectual rigor.
I chomp and I chomp and I chomp
Till blueberry sensation becomes a bore.

I drop my gum like an old war bomb;
My mere fun foot swoops to kick.
Launched into the air, my alluring eyes grow gigantic
As they watch it hit the ground.
I grin my blue colored lips,
Close my ecstatic eyes,
And laugh within when I think,
All intellects should kick their chewed
Flat gum.
