Loan Shark

Finkle Rat and Derby Cat
Opened up a specialty shop
Which was running rather smoothly
Till kids teeth began to rot

For what it was they sold were
Candy apples, Sugar Cubes, and Lemon Drops
With Fizzie Soda to make their quota
On the loaner they had got

You see the latest shipment of Fizzies
Came from the loan shark Marco Mole
To save themselves a buck or two
Our naive friends both sold their souls

And Marco doesn't care about 
Any kids or their rotten teeth
Cause he also owns a piece of Charlie Cockroach
The dentist down the street

Sounds like Marco the Mole was actually the Godfather; especially if he talked like he had cotton candy in his mouth! Very sweet poem Mike!:)
