I went rushing down the lane
To stop by a candy store
Spotting a new candy brand
Of diverse flavours.
I spread out two pennies
"You are still short of two!"
I hurried home
Scraping my baby legs as I rushed past
The pine trees and the old age home,
My kindergarten classrooms
And the playing zone.
I grabbed two more and hastened
Down the lane again,
Spreading four as told
Demanding one of the new candies,
Only to find, all of those sold.
