The Christmas Milkmen
And here are the pictures
Along with the negatives
(Though nobody picked yours.)
And here are the chiclets
Along with a few tic-tacs
(Now ration them wisely)
And here are the victims
Along with the owners
(Now tell us which is which)
But there, were the tricksters
With their scams and illusions
(Box-tops hit pay-dirt)
But there, were the hepcats
With their skat and their doo-wop
(Not for the faint of heart)
But there, were the mangos
With their seeds a-glistening
(Best eaten in the bath)
So, where are the cheetahs
Once the pets of royalty
(And both a dying breed)
So, where are the dealers
Dr. Feelgood, for instance
(With powdered happiness)
So, where is the finis
This stanza, perhaps
(I do believe you're right ;-)
