Have you ever reached
beneath the underneath
of a desk or table?
as you reached,
underneath
the lush wooden maple
Find no treat you'd like to keep
Nor gift you'd want to have
Nothing good,
I wouldn't encourage
one reach or grab.
Gum is there to meet your thumb
soaked in germs and goo
residue left mocking you
smells of grandpa's chew
May my learning be your warning
not to reach nor grab
beneath the underneaths
of a gummy trap

Gum is there to meet your thumb
soaked in germs and goo
residue left mocking you
smells of grandpa's chew
May my learning be your warning
