JONATHAN RICHMAN'S "Chewing Gum Wrapper"
Chewing Gum Wrapper
I saw the chewing
gum wrapper,
saw it after lunch;
Faded little cruddy
thing,
I picked from among
the bunch.
Cruddy little chewing
gum wrapper,
My eyes would not
let go;
Saw the little thing
that I liked so.
Loved the faded
colors like would end up at the dump,
My heart goes bumpety,
bumpety, bumpety bump.
Cruddy little chewing
gum wrapper,
Faded by the rain;
You got to see it
for yourself,
My words just can't
explain.
Cruddy little chewing
gum wrapper,
dried up by the
sun;
Someone else got
to feel this way, I can't be the only one.
Who loves the faded
colors like would end up at the dump.
My heart goes bumpety,
bumpety, bumpety bump.
Faded plenty and
corroded some,
I saw the chewing
gum wrapper,
I picked it up just
like a bum,
Cruddy little, cruddy
little, cruddy little thing;
Full of dirt and
it was full of grit,
I saw the chewing
gum wrapper;
But colors like
that you can't git,
Cruddy little cruddy
little cruddy little cruddy little.
Well, cruddy little
chewing gum wrapper,
My heart would not
let go;
The colors hypnotize
me, and I love them so.
Cruddy little chewing
gum wrapper,
This I must say;
These colors move
me more than most or what I see today.
I love the faded
colors like would end up at the dump,
My heart goes bumpety,
bumpety, bumpety bump.
I saw the chewing
gum wrapper,
When I was on a
walk;
I saw the faded
green
And I could barely
talk.
Cruddy little chewing
gum wrapper
When I was on a
roam
I saw the faded
yellow
And wanted to take
it home
