The Amazing Gum

Tehe. It's a little ballad I made for my Humanities class. XD

To start this story off
I’m going to have to say,
For poor little Tom
It was one weird day.

Pushed around at school
And even at home,
Tom bowed his head in shame
He wasn’t the coolest kid known.

Sitting in class
And looking around,
He saw the most unusual thing
Lying on the ground.

Picking it up
He studied it well,
Tom knew it was gum
But it had a weird smell.

In his mouth it went
Tom started to chew,
“Harmless,” he thought
If only he knew.

A few hours later
The class screamed, “Whoa!”
Tom looked in a mirror
And started to glow!

Lifting off the ground
Tom thought, “I’m not a zero!”
With his strong arms in the air
He screamed, “I’m a super hero!”

Flying out of the class
He went and fought crime,
But the job didn’t pay
He only got a dime.

Tom then realized something
That no one else knew,
His super hero hours
Were finally through.

Don’t be mistaken
Tom loved being on top,
But everyone hated him
He was such a show off.

Spitting out the gum
Tom went back to school,
Apologizing to his class
He said, “I was such a fool.”

The whole class just laughed
As a great lesson was found,
Make sure you stay in school
And don’t eat gum off the ground.
