About This Poem
When the Candy Corn Attacks
When the candy corn attacks
The yellow and the orange
And the ever sweetened white
All come after you
They take you in their sweetness
Enveloped and morphed inside
Grand scheme of candy delight
To take you within
Just when you thought you were safe
Candy corn comes attacking
Right on the offensive track
With high awareness
The yellow slows you way down
And orange curls your stomach
And white takes and knocks you out
Combination punch
Of all the Halloween tricks
This one seems the deadliest
To the weary partygoers
Trying to have fun
