The tragic year 1968, at one
I almost met an early fate
eating breakfast at a Denny's.
My parents, young as they were,
gave me a hard candy to keep
me quiet, a lemon drop I think.
Well quiet I was and also blue.
Frantic, they tried to leave
to get me some help, but couldn't
until they paid the bill. Just then
the drop dissolved enough to pass
and the rest is chronicled in history.
