what it is

cookies and cakes,
pies, frosted flakes,
strawberry tarts,
and tart lemon squares,
chocolate pudding,
and one big hershey's kiss--
these are all things
that you'll surely miss
when you leave
out the door
you'll be sorry
i know
like so many before
you'll crawl back
and want more
just one more little taste
of the sugary sweet
the candycane bubblegum
cherry-pie treat.
