Stealing Candy From A Baby


What a lovely Sunday morning in the park

Sky and lake alive and baby dressed in blue

In the stroller by the bench with mom and pop

They kiss between each lick from Popsicles on a stick

Delicious as the smooches they deliver cherry sweet

Little baby is occupied with his lollipop of yellow

An unsavory fellow old and gray crawling in the grass

Twisting winding exactly like a snake to steal his snack

The child will not be compromised by Mr. ugly creeping up

Greasy filthy hands reach out to take his stuff

The little one pulls out two pistols from his covers

Because two guns are better than one

He fires away like a happy holiday

It is not nice to take a lollipop

It might seem easy as stealing candy from a baby

But not from one with two hand guns gone crazy
