The Candy Store
Heading up from swimming at the beach
Figuring out a perfect time to fit in a shower
Running inside, throwing on my ever so cool favorite tie dye blue Chip n Pepper shirt
My shorts are getting wet from my bathing suit, but that’s okay
Dodging mud puddles along the way, kicking rocks as we go
Hearing the familiar creaking sound, it’s just the door
Stepping over the jagged piece of wood, we’re in the old dark store
Looking quickly at the inventory as if we haven’t yet decided what we are getting
Counting our pennies, some full of mud from a game of finders keepers along the voyage
And finally,
Eating our candy from our brown paper bags
Contemplating what to do next, perhaps we will do it all over again
It’s just another day at the cottage
