Candy Ramadan: Day 17

Sky Bar:
A Study in Haiku

Fry's Electronics

An unbeknownst purveyor

of candy goodness

In the check-out line

Sky Bars wait on bottom shelf

I love impulse buys

Retro candy treat

Four flavors wrapped in chocolate

Those seem like good odds

First bite of caramel

(Pronounced with two syllables

to fit the haiku)

Too sweet and gritty

Covered in crap chocolate

I wish for Rolos

Fudge for second piece

Takes alarming amount of

Time to masticate

Peanut butter third-

Oh God! The peanut butter!

That horrid filling

Words fail to describe

Such a vile, rancid treatment

of that beloved food

Oily and bitter

I would much rather snack on

a used toilet seat

Last is vanilla

May be the best by far but

that's not saying much

Oh my dear Sky Bar

Waste of a good idea

My hopes have faded

Necco Company
Please stick to those wafer things
Leave chocolate alone
