ah sugar sugar

we ate
a lot of candy when young.
Easter,
Christmas or any old day.
Hersey
bars, and Mary Janes,
Skittles
and Juju Fruits.
we devoured
a lot
of butter brickle
ice cream
and sucked on hundreds
of lollipops
down to the stem.
we drank
cokes
by the gallons,
Shirley Temples and grape
Nehi's. we
chewed gum daily,
blowing bubbles, la dee da.
saving the wads
on the bedpost at night.
it's no wonder
our dentists are so rich now.
