Black Jelly Beans

I do not like black jelly beans!

They’re evil, there’s no doubt!

I tried them once, but very quickly

Spat the darn things out!

I do not like black jelly beans!

They’re positively vile!

They look like precious gemstones,

But they taste like bathroom tile!

I do not like black jelly beans!

I hate the way they taste.

And still, it seems a crying shame

To let them go to waste!

I do not like black jelly beans!

Oh, what to do with those?

There simply are too many left

To cram them up my nose!

The dog ate one, but now he’s sick

And won’t go near the rest . . .

You wanna buy black jelly beans?

No, really . . . they’re the best!
