You could fit him
In a box
Really
Buy him at Safeway groceries
On your way
Home from work
Sweet
California made
Comes in one size:
Temporary
They don’t sell him
At Whole Foods
(Not organic enough)
And if you look
Very closely
On the date of purchase
You’ll notice
He expires
In about three months
So, you see,
Really
The indications
Are all right there
On the box
No false advertising
No added sugar
Plenty of artificial flavors
The perfect
Candy bar
Easy to unwrap
Melts in your mouth
Leaves you satisfied
(For a moment)
But leaves you
Just the same.
