Little Debbie's Cakes

to make

an establishment seem more

friendly

and more

approachable,

you see names like Mister Donut,

or Uncle Al's pizzeria.

Momma Luigi's

Pasta up on the fluorescent

signs.

there's 

Uncle Ben's rice

on the shelf with

Aunt Jemima's pancake

batter.

it's so easy to choose

Amy's frozen

dinners over a no name

brand, or

Famous Amos cookies,

or Little Debbie's Cakes

when out shopping.

you've known these people

for most of your life.

there's Colonel Sanders in

his white suit

holding a bucket of fried chicken,

Charlie the tuna

inside a cute little can.

they're friends of yours.

all familiar faces.

look how they smile

back at you

on the shiny package or sign.

they make you

happy.

and being happy is what it's

all about.
