The Danger of College Delicacies

Sloppy Stan woke up again

In his apartment near the newsstand

To see his roommate Sticky Steve

Just shout out loud “It’s Christmas eve!”

But this time of year was not filled with glee

Because when Sloppy Stan and Sticky Steve would appear

The girls would leave

So, they developed an affection for confection

Which at first, came without detection

And the taste, oh the taste was perfection

But after a while, they lost direction

And started to slow their progression

When the chocolate was gone

And they thought they were through

The boxes and wrappers were thrown

But not far, seeing how much they had grown

So they got in the car and began to drive

And traveled to be served

But the snow, oh the snow made them swerve

After Sloppy Stan and Sticky Steve returned

With candy in hand

they came to realize they couldn’t stand

We see from this poem

Because they had no sweeties

They failed to make a treaty

And came down with diabetes
