Bubblegum and Scrabble
Lollipops and bubblegum, jujubes and dots
Licorice and gummy bears, jelly beans and tarts
My friends and I miss them down here in our plots
Loafers and oxfords, wellingtons and spats
Flipflops and slingbacks, stilettos and clogs
My friends and I lose them to damnable rats
Bouffants and crewcuts, pompadours and shags
Beehives and combo'ers, curlicues and dreads
My friends and I no longer brush out the snags
Monopoly and Scrabble, checkers and chess
Battleship and Yatzhee, backgammon and spades
They won't help dead friends convalesce
