Here at this store,
the children wait on the floor
and shiver & shake to the core,
while their parents wait by the door
A rotund man named Billy Tudor,
wearing a lab coat made of velour,
stands by the bins that pour
forth jelly beans, gummy bears & candy corn.
I hate to be such a bore,
though I heard of this cliché in the old lore,
speaking of “a kid in a candy store,”
who will quiver & quake and ask for more,
I have not found this place, nor
do I ever expect to find it.
