Once upon a time
It was yum, yum, yum!

      Well, Beverly, I suppose the gum was good at one time, but now? Ah, not so much. I have a new summer school post up that you might enjoy. Come on over!

    This looks like a painting … it is chewed gum on a window? A creative creation.

      Click “Gum Wall” under the photo. It’ll take you to a descriptive article on Wikipedia. The Gum Wall really exists in Seattle–and I’ll bet you thought I just made this up, right? 😉

      I imagine it does, Ralph! 🙂 It’s probably great for sealing cavities. Oh, wait! I think it CAUSES cavities. Never mind.

    I was a senior
    she was a novice teacher
    you chew –give me some

    Really my English teacher said, “if you chew gum in class you have to offer me some.” That wouldn’t fit my five syllables.

    Happy RT! Knowing where that gum came from, those students weren’t as lucky as I was.
    ..
    BTW, I was the only one whom she told that. I always felt I was her teacher’s pet.

    What a ‘modern’ composition — a little creepy and a lot beautiful. Love your haikus too.
    Happy Tuesday to you!

    hahahahaha teacher!
    ABC gum was the ONLY gum that the golden kids could afford.
    big deal if it was Aready Been Chewed!..we used to scrape it up from the sidewalks or anywhere else that others had thrown it and it WAS yum yum yum!
    this window of already been chewed gun would have been a real treasure for sure!
    boy, with all the germs nowadays, i guess there would have been nine little indians that would have got some sick and left the scenes of earth!

    thanks for your visit to me and thanks for leaving your ruby tuesday link!……..love terry
