Bazooka Joe

A 2020 poem

A cornucopia of corny jokes
A life of plenty
A muddy, muddled motley crew
A life in adult absentia


Blow up the bubbly gum
A tasty treat
Hide in the attic
A life with chums


Oh, solemn day
Your childhood dies away
At the point of a dirty needle
Bazooka Joe is no more


Summon up the will to live
Put away that gun, soldier
My hearty lad, it’s not that bad
Look on the bright side for a while
