Pretty Wrapped Candy

You cry and beg for the pretty wrapped treats

For the candy seems sweet up on the ledge

They cave; giving you what you wanted

Suddenly they seem tart to your unpleased lips

So you move your sights to a prettier wrapper

And you never realize that it is the wanting

That is more delightful than the having
