The Bag O Candy
There’s a bag of candy in my kitchen drawer.
It’s hidden THERE, in the candy drawer?
In the drawer THERE (point, point)
The licorice bits are in a bag.
A special bag ZIP LOCKED.
THERE (point, point) with the old refrigerator magnets.
THERE, with the unused toaster oven tray.
Refuse in a drawer, to good to discard.
Residents of the drawer hold back the tide;
hold messages from the Dali Lama.
Hold toast on a tray.
But, the dern refuse drawer’s not keeping me away!
the blue track of THE bag
peeks out of the drawer
I just can’t refuse it!
I WANT SOME MORE!!!
