Food Shopping

I.

Yesterday at the Grand Union

I put a quarter in the bubble gum machine

It gave me a green gum ball

II.

I chewed the gum ball and discovered it had

A hallow center. So I wrote the bubble gum

Company, suing them for fraud

III.

After 36 months of court cases, I won the suit.

I received $192 million for fraud and

Potential damages to my delicate physical health

IV.

My mom said it wasn’t nice for

Me to go suing the gum company like that

So, I was a good sport and gave the mony back.

V.

I kept $15 for a new cd.

I gave the change to my lawyer

He said “Thank you very much.”

VI.

I only chew red gum balls now

I am allergic to the dye in the blue ones

The Yellow and orange ones activate my post-nasal drip.

VIII.

I donated my cd to the homeless

Aren’t I nice?

That was my story about food shopping.
