Good Time Charlie
I Chose You!
I know this might sound sort of weird,
for a kid to like this kind of snack...
It's not PB&J on my face all smeared,
and I'll probably get some flack.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
But I screamed for mom to give to me
A tuna sandwich from Charlie, King Dud of the Sea!
Yes, you heard it quite correctly,
As I glared at other kids circumspectively!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I know it's odd to mix in the fish with some apple,
But with details like this, I did not grapple!
I liked the crunch, the eggs, the relish and the taste.
I gobbled them up with little or no haste!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I might have had a tender spot for Old Charlie,
but as I look back, I see he was a wee bit gnarly...
Nobody ever chose this sad old fish,
But I did pick him...for my very own snack, so delish :)
