candy girl

she always had
candy with her. jelly beans.
a clark bar
or two.
good and plenty,
gum,
with which to blow
bubbles
and chew.
a lollipop
was always in her hand,
a licorice stick
too.
ask for a gum drop
and out
one would pop.
chocolate covered
raisons when the weather
wasn't too
hot.
she was the candy girl
in the old
hood.
always with a treat,
always
staying out late
when she should be at home,
being bad
when all the other girls
were good.
