The Candygram

One fine day Abraham  
Wanted to send a candygram
All the way to Amsterdam
Sweets ad nauseam     
Weighed by kilogram
All he could cram
In a huge box stamped with a monogram

This is the price said Ma’am
What’s wrong need a diagram
Abraham was in a jam
Had no cash felt like a ham
Meeker than a lamb  
Thought he better scram 
Postpone the candygram

Bad credit is debit card’s anagram
