Candy Life 's Addictive Store
for every child 
divine store close at hand 
sweetest temptation
Mrs. Life lavishness 
sweet salty sour or spicy
and all in between 
height of the counter 
whether or not at arm's length
destiny defines
all flavors strengthen 
bitterness defines sweetness
acid colors all 
here randomness reigns
clay yellow jar on the counter 
each time a free pick 
always the challenge
here at Life's addictive store 
for every child
