Them Tummy Gummers

How about Them Tummy Gummers ain't they dummies?
Havin' they fun a gummun' they tummies.
Gummin them paunches out o' they mind
Runnin' 'round shoutin' "It's tummy gummin' time"
Look at them Them Tummy Gummers lurkin' in the yard,
Waintin' for a jelly belly, catch it off guard.
Them hell-bent Tummy Gummers, ain't they dummix,
Runnin' through the neighborhood gummin' them stomachs.
How to be a Tummy Gummer, no way to shun it,
Grab an abdomen, haul off and gum it.

I don't remember that poem, Frannie but I loved Shel Silverstein's poems when I was a preteen. Here is one of them:

"My Beard"

My beard grows down to my toes,
I never wears no clothes,
I wraps my hair
Around my bare,
And down the road I goes.

Here's another favorite Shel poem:

ELETELEPHONY
by Shel Silverstein, from "Where The Sidewalk Ends"

once there was an elephant
who tried to use the telephant;
no no, I mean an elephone
who tried to use the telephone.
(Dear me I am not certain quite
that even now i've got it right)
how e'r it was he got his trunk
entangled in the telephunk
the more he tried to get it free,
the louder buzzed the telephee.
(i fear i'd better quit this song
of elehop and telephong.)

Shel had some cool songs too!!!!!!!

Wrote a few done by Dr. Hook as I recall?

mac, found those tummy gummers strangely disturbing class

*but not as disturbing as if it would have been a Tummy Gumby, the bastard

Yes, and One's On The Way for Loretta Lynn as well as The Unicorn by the Irish Rovers. Sadly, he is no longer with us: his pen is silenced.
