Movie Snacks
When I was a kid at the movies
With money to purchase a snack,
I wouldn’t buy popcorn or bonbons
Or Bonomo’s taffy to crack.
My favorites were strange, I admit it
And ones that I’d never now buy.
The first, root beer barrels, were tasty
And gave me a soda-like high.
The other was Chuckle-like chewies
But all of one flavor, in green,
Called spearmint leaves, dusted with sugar
And part of my movie routine.
They’re both still around (Yes, I Googled)
But neither’s retained its appeal
Though back then, as a kid at the theater,
They brought joy during many a reel.
