'Dear friends we surely all agreeA
There's almost nothing worse to seeA
Than some repulsive little bumB
Who's always chewing chewing gumB
It's very near as bad as thoseC
Who sit around and pick the noseC
So please believe us when we sayD
That chewing gum will never payD
This sticky habit's bound to sendE
The chewer to a sticky endE
Did any of you ever knowF
A person called Miss BigelowF
This dreadful woman saw no wrongG
In chewing chewing all day longG
She chewed while bathing in the tubH
She chewed while dancing at her clubH
She chewed in church and on the busI
It really was quite ludicrousI
And when she couldn't find her gumB
She'd chew up the linoleumB
Or anything that happened nearJ
A pair of boots the postman's earK
Or other people's underclothesI
And once she chewed her boy friend's noseI
She went on chewing till at lastL
Her chewing muscles grew so vastL
That from her face her giant chinM
Stuck out just like a violinM
For years and years she chewed awayD
Consuming fifty packs a dayD
Until one summer's eve alasI
A horrid business came to passI
Miss Bigelow went late to bedN
For half an hour she lay and readN
Chewing and chewing all the whileO
Like some great clockwork crocodileO
At last she put her gum awayD
Upon a special little trayD
And settled back and went to sleepP
She managed this by counting sheepP
But now how strange Although she sleptQ
Those massive jaws of hers still keptQ
On chewing chewing through the nightR
Even with nothing there to biteR
They were you see in such a grooveS
They positively had to moveS
And very grim it was to hearK
In pitchy darkness loud and clearJ
This sleeping woman's great big trapT
Opening and shutting snap snap snapT
Faster and faster chop chop chopU
The noise went on it wouldn't stopU
Until at last her jaws decideV
To pause and open extra wideV
And with the most tremendous chewW
They bit the lady's tongue in twoW
Thereafter just from chewing gumB
Miss Bigelow was always dumbB
And spent her life shut up in someB
Disgusting sanatoriumB
And that is why we'll try so hardX
To save Miss Violet BeauregardX
From suffering an equal fateY
She's still quite young It's not too lateY
Provided she survives the cureZ
We hope she does We can't be sure 'A2
