People that put their gum ANYWHERE

Under the table, under the desk, out on the street, it's stuck to your feet! You pry and you prod and you scratch and you scrape, it makes such a mess that you just can't escape. They chew and they chomp and they chew it some more, when it loses its flavor they take out some more! They think "What to do with this gum?" since it's done, "I'll stick it right under my chair that's real fun!" Right in a place where another will touch, they'll put more than one piece they'll just put so much. The whole underside of the desk will be covered, and then when you reach under there it's discovered! They think that it's funny when your hands go south, and you touch something that's been inside of their mouth. Do they do it for fun? I think that's just crazy. I think the real reason's because they're all lazy. They're selfish and ignorant chewing on their gum, they can't see the equation or get to the sum of their most awful action and I'll tell you why, they're all lazy jerks and I hope they all fly far away to a place where I'll never have to be, maybe then their old gum can no more bother me.

Wow, I didn't expect to write a poem, especially not on this blog, but I do love to write it.

Honestly, I don't see how hard it is to put your gum into a trash can! The places in which people do it usually have trash cans EVERYWHERE such as in schools. That's just the epitome of laziness, when you won't even swallow your own gum instead of sticking it somewhere for it to stay forever. You may be confused, isn't swallowing your gum lazier than sticking it somewhere? No, let me explain to you why this is. When you throw it out you dispose of it properly, when you swallow it the gum gets digested and properly disposed of with everything else you shove down your throat. When you stick it on an artificial surface such as a desk, table, sidewalk, ledge, drawer, pipe, basically anything man made, it will stay there for years and years due to the time it takes to break down under those circumstances. You can even throw it in the grass, and it will break down faster due to it being surrounded by natural chemicals and compounds, like what comprises gum. Seriously think the next time you consider sticking your gum somewhere you shouldn't, because it will stay there for a long time, and I can GUARANTEE you that whoever has to clean it up is NOT going to be pleased. Trust me on this one, I am a janitor.

You forget the gum trees at six flags. No, not the species of trees know commonly as gum trees. The tree with 1000 pieces of gum stuck to it. That gum stays there a long time, and the only way to remove it is to strip the bark off of the tree. Now that's inconsiderate.

I am the Lorax I speak for the trees.
