“What have I got in my pocket?” ask GrandPa
“A Quarter,” squealed Laura
Out popped a shinny new 1965 silver quarter.
Laura lay the coin down on the glass case
Started pointing at the assortment of candy.
Five Mary Jane, two wax moustaches,
six pixie sticks, four Bonomo Turkish Taffy,
a jaw breaker, a liquorish , a roll of dots
on a white sheet of paper.
“How much do I have left?” asked Laura
The clerk told her she had a nickel’s worth
“What do you want GrandPa?”
“How about we share a bottle of Coke?”
Two straws Two Smiles.
