Well, there I was in the candy store, <br />choosing my candy from the counter. <br />In she walked wings on her feet, <br />and her head, way up in the clouds. <br />I grabbed up a penny chew, <br />before I could even get the wrapper off, <br />she was on the other end of it. <br />I looked down my nose; <br />all I could see were teeth, <br />and two big eyeballs looking at me. <br /> <br />Well, there I was looking at what I had hooked, <br />the fish kept wriggling in front of me. <br />When along she came bold as brass, <br />and stood right there beside me. <br />I grabbed up a penny chew, <br />before I could even get the wrapper off, <br />she was on the other end of it. <br />I looked down my nose; <br />all I could see were teeth, <br />and two big eyeballs looking at me. <br /> <br />Well, I had had enough by now, <br />so I asked her to marry me. <br />Those big eyeballs rolled around, <br />and the teeth said, “Yes please.” <br />So here we are on our wedding night, <br />all tucked up in bed and I looked, <br />not a penny chew in sight. <br />I said, “No penny chews, my dear? ” <br />“I don’t believe it! Our wedding night and all he wants is a penny chew! ”<br /><br />David Harris<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-met-my-girl-on-the-other-end-of-my-penny-chew-fun-poem-19/
