Lurking in the shadows
Dark and dingy alleys
Waiting for a dandy
Steal what candy's yours
Strong is your grip
So as is your soul
Watch without a slip
Creatures on parole
Candy has such flavor
Pleasing to the taste
Desire of it's savour
We enjoy it without waste
Knowing of no dimmer light
Danger lurking out of sight
Wolves in a sheeps clothing
Awaiting with such loathing
Promises of full flavor
Creatures of behavior
Lure you in with kinder words
All are silver plated turds
Your soul is what they want
Do anything to get it done
Your days & nights a haunt
Hold tight to your candy
And tighter to your soul
Watch for wolves of dandy
Your ashes in a bowl
