A RATHER STICKY EXPERIENCE

A RATHER STICKY EXPERIENCE

One day, within a grove of spruce,They gathered gum to chew,But, oh! it was so sticky thatIt acted quite like glue!They could not separate their teeth,However hard they tried,Till with a tooth-brush, smartly used,Some Borax they applied.So on a board they wrote a sign,And tacked it to a tree,Right in the middle of the groveWhere everyone could see.It said: “There’s nothing quite so goodWith which to brush the teeth,As 20-Mule-Team-Borax. Yours,”And signed their names beneath.
