Ever since I was small
I
loved the gumball machines
they stood like little soldiers
they stood like little soldiers
along the walls of small business stores,
restaurants, and in the mall.
Sometimes they held M&Ms,
sour tarts, or small toys. They used
to cost a penny, then a nickel and a quarter
but didn’t matter what they were, my dad
but didn’t matter what they were, my dad
always dug deep
into his pocket to come up
with the correct change
with the correct change
so I could take a turn
and get my special treat.
and get my special treat.
