Penny Candy
Penny candy once was a penny
Back when I was just a little pat
I'd run to the local grocery store
Where the gumball machine was at!
My eyes were so wide with excitement
I thought they would pop from their socket
That was a penny I couldn't keep long
Or it'd burn a hole in my pocket!
I put in my cent, and turned the knob
Fastly glued to the chute I'd become
If I was lucky and it was striped
I got a whole nickels worth of gum!
That happened once and I was amazed
Five pieces of gum for a penny
What things could happen better than that?
Back then I could not think of any!
