Bubblegum

I wasn’t suppose to swallow it
I did, but it’s just bubblegum
Don’t get mad at me, it’s not my fault
I’m a kid and it’s just bubblegum

It could be worse,
It could be a rock
or both hands off a grandfather clock
Some poisonous berries or exploding cherries
Your favorite ring or a window cling
A metal pole or a plastic roll
Some thistle or a missile
Bug spray or a sleigh
Dirt or Bert

I wasn’t suppose to swallow it
But I’m sure I’ll be okay
What’s the worst that can happen to me?
What’s that?
Did you just say?
Blow a bubble out the wrong way?
