Candy Scores

I bought them for a dollar 

at the penny candy store.

I asked you not to holler-

you said you’d whisper “more.”

I poured them in the cut glass dish.

You said you wanted four.

To eat them all, my only wish-

But you, to settle scores.

Now they’re gone, each sweet treat;

I’ll head back to the store.

Our bickering is now complete-

You, penny candy whore.
