NaPoWriMo #29 "Penny Candy, 1967"


Penny Candy, 1967
Rows of pastel buttons on their strips of thin paper;
Red Hot Atomic Fireballs;
Wax lips and candy cigarettes;
Nips bottles full of colored sugar water;
Mary Janes, Bazooka, Tootsie Roll minis;
Smartees, root beer barrels, raspberry chews;
Starburst mints, crystal mints, sour balls.
A nickel all that's needed for happiness.
A dime? Twice the joy--an afternoon's pure bliss.
