Seeing how Whatever I see Becomes a Tootsie Roll to me I must step back from the crowd And reassess my life My wife declares my obsession I step back from her and cry Tootsie Roll how I love Your chocolatey chew Tootsie Roll I think I'm in love with you Whatever it is I think I see Becomes an irrational chain of events Or maybe a tootsie roll to me I said to Mister Owl as he snapped a groovy beat It’s a gas, man Tootsie Rolls are all I want to eat Mister Owl said to me brother don’t you wag Your Tootsie Roll fix is just a quarter a bag Mister Owl if you have an answer I'll think your tops How many licks to the center of a Tootsie Roll Pop Mister Owl said well just let me see He peeled off the wrapper and said 1…2…3 But officer he looked like a Tootsie Roll to me [This message has been edited by wayoutwalt (edited 11-06-2000).] |

Wow, you've zapped me back to 1983 with this one, what a great (and funny!) poem. Thanks for putting a smile on my face. Azure "I put it down on paper and then the ghost does not ache so much" - Sandra Cisneros |

LOL! So, you too have a tootsie roll addiction, eh? Maybe you and my husband should get therapy for that! I have to fight him over the Orange and the Rasberry Tootsie Roll pops! Adorable poem, Walt! I love it! |
