Phillip Coffey - Bazooka Gum Post

Bazooka Gum Post by Phillip Coffey

Got much of my stored wisdom from reading messages of
Bazooka Joe bubble gum enclosures inside.

Walking to a one room school - sticking the paper within My right pocket.

Respect for all the flora and fauna seen near Keltner-town Long before I could read very well.

Took all of the sagacity of the leaflets in my mind to Sparksville Grade Center - leaving home long before daylight in the Wintertime.

Moved to Adair County Freshman class on Frazier hill about 1967.

Taking on a different route but never getting much further than Trigonometry in my Senior year.

Still chewing on the same dried bubble gum removed each morning From my chilled bedroom host.
