jelly beans

Beans, Beans, the musical fruit,

The more you eat the more you, hold it

I'm sorry, that is about some other beans

I guess I was just showing some of my wit??

Now look at all these beautiful beans

So many colors and flavors to taste

All that flavor in a small little bean

Wouldn't it be a crime to eat them in haste?

So slowly savor them in your mouth

Before you bite them cause quickly they're gone

But there's more you say and I know

And more calories till my waitline begone.

So treasure these sweet little morsels

And always keep some of them near

But, you know the ones on this page

Would probably last me the whole darn year.
