Banana Now and Laters
Were once my least favorite flavor
I had to run out of cherry and grape
Before I could really appreciate the taste
Not quite like any banana that I’d ever had
The last pack at the bottom of my Penny candy bag
After a few squares, I realized that they weren’t THAT bad...
So I’d chain eat them in distress
Sometimes I’d eat even them if I was pressed
From Naptown to Decatur
I used to even eat them with bits of paper!
Tell me how it felt?
When a whole pack would melt?
Banana Now and Laters
Kids in the urban jungle like some alligators
Chomp a piece
Now at least
You got something sweet
Around your tongue and teeth
My friends didn’t witness
All of the cavities I got filled at the dentist
To this day, I still have metal fillings in my mouth
Caused by my childhood Now and Later addiction - no doubt!
