My Sour Patch Kids
I hide my favorite candy in my panty drawer,
Because if I left them out, I would have to keep buying more,
I would come home to an empty bag and go bizerk,
The boys would eat all of them while I was at work,
"Please, save me a couple," I would say,
They would nod their heads, "Ok, mom Ok,"
This went on for quite some time,
Until finally I said, "That's it! Their getting hidden tonight!"
I lay in my bed and try not to crinkle the bag,
Because if they saw me eating them, it would be a rap,
I quickly put it under the blanket, "Mom,,What are you eating?!"
You can hear me turnin' the page, I'm just laying down reading!
