When I was old enough to walk Around town by myself But not old enough to remember How old I was I walked up Central Avenue To where it became Beach 20th St. And walked into My favorite candy store..... And lifted some candy It was probably chocolate As I have always been hooked On that delectable substance It was a thrillicious experience No one said boo to me No one suggested that I was headed for a life of crime, or Wondered about my upbringing And most important, No one called the cops Years later I pondered The meaning of all this I thought about how An accident of birth To this family Rather than that family Shielded me from Those heavy consequences
