Bazooka Bubble Gum
Blow a bubble with bazooka gum,
Have a piece its so much fun.
Get to chewing, and enjoy the taste,
And keep the wrapper; it’s not a waste.
Now stick your tongue through the gum,
I’m series now, so do it hon!
Blow the bubble without a fuss,
Boom! There is goes; what a bust!
Now remove the gum with your fingers,
Wipe nose and face; leave nothing to linger.
Now it’s time to sound like a cow,
Listen really close and I’ll tell you how.
Chew your gum and make it smack,
While mouth is open, you’ll get the knack.
When it’s time for bed and you take out your gum,
Don’t throw it a way for that’s no fun.
Stick it on your bedpost for the night,
And in the morning is will taste all right.
Later in that day when sick of your gum,
Spit it on the ground to let the sun,
Melt it to sticky goo,
For someone to step in with their shoe.
So if you get bored and want to look dumb,
Get a piece of Bazooka Gum.
Have Some Fun!

Bo Lumpkin
/ May 30, 2012Great artwork and great memories.
Reminds me of that old song, “Does your chewin’ gum lose it’s flavor on the bed post overnight?”
Deb
/ May 30, 2012There ya go, Bo! 🙂
Glad you like the painting too!
Thanks for coming by, Bo…it’s always a pleasure to hear from you!
Hugs xx
Bo Lumpkin
/ May 30, 2012Now that is what I call a reply. Thanks. 🙂
Deb
/ May 30, 2012Thought you might like that, Bo! It’s an oldie and a goodie. Now I always know where I can find the song now….so that you!
Hugs xx
Tony McGurk
/ June 5, 2012Ha, I haven’t heard that song for years
Deb
/ June 5, 2012Me neither…it was great to hear it!
Carl D'Agostino
/ May 30, 2012Lord that stuff was awful. That piece of cardboard in the baseball pack they called gum was even worse and you could not make any bubbles with it anyway. Like the poem though.Transported me back 50 years.
Deb
/ May 30, 2012Don’t know what gum you are referring too, Carl. Bazooka was delicious and every kid I ever knew loved it, and was most popular when I was growing up.
Glad you like the poems. Have a stick of trident. 🙂 😉
Hugs xx
jbstoons
/ May 30, 2012I love it Deb. that was always the best bubble gum. i loved it because it came with a little comic strip in it. Great picture.
Deb
/ May 30, 2012It certainly was…I use to get some with my weekly allowance. I could get 2 for a penny. The comics were great. Hey the comic alone was good enough reason to get the gum. I tried chewing up two pieces at once…haha. Man was my jaw sore.
Thanks Jeremy!
Hugs xx
Bo Lumpkin
/ May 30, 2012BTW- The only good part of gettin’ a haircut when I was a kid was the Bazooka Bubble Gum the barber gave me after I had been scalped. i think it was kind of an apology.
Deb
/ May 30, 2012Hahaha! You could be right!
Hugs xx
spilledinkguy
/ May 31, 2012Hahaha…
why do I get the impression I’d somehow manage to get it stuck in my hair, Deb?!
🙂
Deb
/ May 31, 2012Lol…Well, because you likely would…so would I. All it takes is one great big bubble and Boom, it’s in the hair! 🙂
Hugs xx
Wendell A. Brown AKA The Brown One Poet
/ May 31, 2012Deb, my favorite bubble gum, and its all that you said! There is not another one like it! thanks fro sharing such a fund post!
Deb
/ May 31, 2012Mine too, Wendell. I haven’t chewed bubble gum in ages. I chew sugarless now. But when I did…it was so much fun.
Hugs xx
dontchawannadream
/ June 1, 2012Nice work, Deb!
I’ve never tasted this Bazooka Bubble Gum… 😦
I’ve always thought Malabar was American and I’ve just learned it’s actually a French brand. I think it’s pretty much the same as Bazooka. We have also “Hollywood Chewing Gum” lol French too.
Deb
/ June 1, 2012I’ve tasted others that tried to be like Bazooka over the last 50 years and have never come across a one that is a match.
Thanks Cha! Hugs xx
Sue Dreamwalker
/ June 1, 2012That was a Fun Post and poem Deb.. now I remember that Pink gum… that I would blow bubbles with.. arrrgh… until my jaw ached… thank you for jogging a Dreamwalkers memory .. going back now..
Deb
/ June 3, 2012Oh I love it!…thank you, Sue! That song really makes me laugh! I remember too how my jaw would get sore from chewing it!…lol. hey, they were 2 for a penny back then.
Love you, Hugs xx
Androgoth
/ June 1, 2012Yes we all ate this Bazooka Bubble Gum when we were kid’s but I haven’t seen any around for years do they still make it? This posting is thought provoking Deb, and now I am thinking about all the other sweets of that time 🙂 How wicked…
Have a fun weekend you 🙂 😉
Androgoth XXx
Deb
/ June 3, 2012Forgive me for taking so long to reply. I lost my connection for the last two days due to a bad storm.
Yes, we all of our age group did enjoy this gum for one reason or other, but it doesn’t seem to be around anywhere I’ve looked either.
Now you got me thinking of other candies of that time too, Andro! Hey, do you remember how big the malted milk balls use to be? And I could get 2 for a penny. Man, I could fill up a bag of 50 for .25 cents.
Have a great Sunday, Andro!
Hugs ♥ XXx
Androgoth
/ June 3, 2012Those were the days Deb and yes everything was literally much bigger then, I remember the Mars Bars and Cream Eggs they are so small now, I like those midget gems also and being that they are so yummy I bet Fraz and the rest of the Wombies would enjoy them 🙂 Have a fun time remembering all those sweets of yesteryear, like those sherbot fountains and flying saucers, gob stoppers, caramac chocolate and chewing gum lollies 🙂 lmao
Androgoth XXx
Deb
/ June 4, 2012Yes, they were. All candy bar were of full size. The little ones you find in a party bag were not even thought of yet. If you wanted a lot of bars you had to get them all full size.
If was fun to remember for a while now wasn’t it.
Have an excellent evening, my friend!
Hugs ♥ XXx
Sabina Brave
/ June 2, 2012I don’t know this gum, but it had to be great 🙂
Hugs,

Deb
/ June 3, 2012Oh it was. I don’t think there was a kid in America that wasn’t chewing…and adults stepping in it…lol
Hugs xx
Nuno
/ June 2, 2012I remember those bubble gums! 😀
Deb
/ June 3, 2012Yeah, me too, can’t find them anymore though.
lscotthoughts
/ June 2, 2012Oh, Deb, I feel young again! Hee,hee! What a fun poem and great painting! I loved this gum, as long as I didn’t step in it! Hugs! xo
Deb
/ June 3, 2012We kids rarely stepped in it, but did sometimes. It was usually the adults that stepped in it. We use to stick it under the desk when the teacher came into the class room. It was gross under those desks…lol
lscotthoughts
/ June 3, 2012Yep, fun times in youth! xo
George W Mahn III
/ June 2, 2012Well that was loads of fun! 🙂
Deb
/ June 3, 2012Well I’m glad you had fun, George!! 🙂 Hugs xx
Tony McGurk
/ June 5, 2012What a fun poem Deb. I remember blowing a huge bubble once in a challenge with my son. It burst & stuck all in my beard
Deb
/ June 5, 2012Hahaha…in your beard. I bet that was a sticky mess for ya! I’ve had my share of getting it in my hair as a kid.
Tony McGurk
/ June 9, 2012Beard gumminess isn’t a great experience
Novroz
/ June 7, 2012Lol…I love it…you make me want to chew a gum 🙂
It’s been long since my last gum. I hope I don’t step on a chewed gum tomorrow morning 😉
Deb
/ June 7, 2012Pic up a piece next time you shop…just for fun! 😉
