Going , Going , Gone

Come boys and girls, come and gather around

Come and taste the sweet fudge, it’s best by the pound!

Once a fine candy establishment this place used to be

Now there’s nobody left ,

… nobody ’cept me

This place was enough once upon ye old time

But now bigger stores can deliver faster , and online

So take one last look and not another more

This candy shops over , soon again nevermore

If these walls could talk, then they would tell all

They would spill secrets of fun , young love and a sly cat call

Yes this was the spot, the very place you’d want to be!

It still would be so , …if only it was 1993

But alas children grew up , and outgrew the magic

They sold their souls for profits , it’s all very tragic

And this fine candy store , that everyone thought would for sure last

Soon will be nothing but ashes , just a memory of the past

Why do you ask, that I even tell such a tale ?

Because I am the shop , and my candy is no longer for sale
