When Sebastian said, “Now that one’s a snack.”
Jimmy froze mid-step and turned the other way.
“How can that be true? Unless food has gone astray.
Is anyone handing them out fresh from the rack?”
But Jimmy paced about as he mapped out his attack.
“If people are snacks, who keeps them supplied?
Who hangs them up and leaves them there dried?
Does anyone line them up and keep them on a rack?”
Then grabbed a pad eyeing a makeshift display rack.
“Will they be arranged by charm or how they’ve been fed?
Will the sweeter ones get placed alongside our daily bread?”
Sebastian groaned, “You’ve gone and lost the track.”
Then he asked the passing strangers, “Got a snack?”
Some laughed out loud, some pried for his name,
Of course one threw his chips, then ran off just the same,
Sebastian said, “I’m not going along with that whack.”
