Poems (Barbara White)/Chewing Gum
Chewing Gum
Polly White and Susie Hood, Were two little girls who never could be good;One day they got some chewing gum, And before they slept we had some fun;Polly and Susie went off to bed, And Polly got the chewing gum stuck on her head:Such a time as we had fixing up that hair, It was just like a rat's nest, I do declare.
Such a time as we did have right then, With oil and brush and comb with them;We had to take the scissors and cut off Polly's locks, And we felt like cutting off both their blocks;We then asked Susie why she put it there, Right in among Polly White's hair;I didn't, I stuck it on the foot of the bed, And that's how it got in Polly White's head.
