Green Jellybeans
The neighborhood convence store
was always good for necessities and more
Together I would walk with my dad
and to get a smile and make me glad
A bag of jellybeans he would add
to whatever it was my mother had to had
Once home the bag empty into the jar
those jellybeans wouldn't last or go far
For hands would grab the sweet fruity treat
a favorite that my family loved to eat
My dad prefer the black licorice
the red cherry was everyones wish
Purple grape my mom did love
white pineapple into my mouth I shoved
Pink strawberry my older sister liked
orangey orange to the middle one was a delight
Yellow lemon my youngest sister sought
but the green lime was a jellybean flop
We would trade for our favorite flavors
but poor green jellybeans no one savored
My sweet tooth would get to me in time
so I would eat the green jellybeans of lime
After awhile green jellybeans tasted good
this was something my family finally understood
Trade you two pinks for that green jellybean
the once discarded green now ruled supreme
I enjoy all those childhood flavors now everytime
but I always end my jellybean treat with a tasty green lime
