The Little Tykes
The Little Tykes
The little tykes,
They’re early trained
To hold onto little bags —
To carry their collected needs,
Or special treats,
Or found symbols of imaginings
To be kept for them alone —
In their name-labeled bags
That decades later they’ll keep
In the cabinets and closets
Of what they’ll call
As their own homes.

Anyone here old enough to recall Penny Candy choices?
Currently like picking $1/ piece in specialty chocolate shops
