and as it goes
with the old folks i know
if your grandmother
is anything like mine
her hand bag is full of them
and for all i know
the restraunts i frequent
have bought stock in them
and wouldn't you gather enough
that the hotels
and motels
probably ought to invest in them too.
just like any good waiting room
there they are
in any candy dish
it seems that in any common place
you'd better bet
just like all the above people places and etc
that there's a simple pleasure
for us all to enjoy
to veil the harsh breath
to tide you over while you wait
to have a treat of candy joy
oh what a commonplace sweet we have in you peppermint hard candy.
