[bodytext] => I remember when I was in the 6th grade Every week my class would take a multiplication test One hundred question in two minutes and if you were to get 70 of them right the teacher gave you a delicious sour gummy straw To get 80 of them right you’d get 2 90 right get 3 and to get all one hundred of them right, you’d get 4 I would only get no more than 70 And I’d sit there eating my lonely straw gummy as all the other kids had 3 or 4 Even the times I didn’t get 70 right A friend (who got 4) would always give me one, all out of pitty there I would be with my one and the other kids would be licking, sucking, lapping up the sugary goodness Oh the envy I had, No matter how long studied and practiced for the weekly quizzes I would always get around 70 right It stayed like this way all my 6th grade year Test day, my peers celebrated their fine candy feast And I would shamefully take my one even though I never cried, or lost any sleep from these incidences, But now even to this day when I go out to the grocery store or movie theater and see these delightful little treats, of sour gummy straws I buy a pack knowing that I can have more than just one J.L.
