How Sweet It Is - the Love Life of Candy

It seemed that poor Candy was doomed Always looking for Mr. Good Bar Every Mike and Ike in the book She had dated yet none would go far Indeed, she finds only Airheads Like that old Jolly Rancher last week She wouldn’t know the Three Musketeers If they came up and kissed her on the cheek She’s not shopping on 5th Avenue If you really know what I mean Hangin’ round with the Hot Tamales And night clubs are just not her scene This Marathon of a man hunt Searching all of the known Milky Way Has lead her to nothing but Goobers Oh, when will she have her Pay Day Her friends have been her Lifesavers And one day we know she will Skor She should Take5, let love come to her Now and Later, for evermore

It takes special talent to articulate a well spun story in rhyme.. with so many rhyme-unfriendly words about candy. Yet, you wrote an excellent poem Mike..a winning poem for me.
