Punishment to Fit the Crime

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


Anywhere that Gum is Sold,

I Propose a Move that’s Bold.
Take a Swab before We Pay,
To Get the “Chewer’s DNA.”

Place it In a Data Base –
Discarded Gum we can Trace.
Step on It in Blinding Heat,
Flattens Out while On the Street.
If it Makes it to Our Pad,
Sticks Around – That Is Bad.

Data Base – a Fool Proof Way,
To see Offenders have To Pay,
For Spitting Out or Sticking It,
In Places Walked or Daily Sit.

Punishment to Fit the Crime,
Probably including Slime,
In their Clothes and On their Shoes,
And other Places that We Choose.

Repeat Offenders – Stiff Punishment,
Must Chew Gum that is Twice Spent,
Then to Boot  – Behind their Ear –
They’d have to Keep it One Whole Year!
