The Penny Sucker

© 2014 by P Michael Biggs

I stole a sucker

Was a small cherry sucker

It cost one penny

Way less than my tennies

I wanted it bad

And would be sad

If I didn’t have my penny sucker

It stole it and hid it

Hid it in my coat pocket

And after supper

I asked for it

She wondered why

I was a bit shy

And finally told

I got a scold

Dad made me take it back

So I went back

To the store where

I stole the sucker

Mr. Hickerson was kind

He didn’t seem to mind

But Dad was mad

He wanted to teach this lad

So I left the store

And stole no more
