tongue-buddy

Dumb jelly bean    
I rescued  
from the gutter  
I don't care who    
spat you out  
when two years later    
you're still hanging  
in a corner    
of my mouth  
 
I just knew    
first time I saw you  
all that sugar    
a going to waste  
so I scraped the    
muck off    
then got sucking  
bean, I'd be  
lost    
without your taste    
 
Now some folks dream    
of croak-a-cola  
they crave ice-creme  
or chocolate chips  
but when I suck    
my jelly thriller  
sweet shivers    
rush  
across my lips
