Penny Candy Scores

I bought them for a dollar 
at the penny candy store.
I asked you not to holler-
you said you’d whisper “more.”

I poured them in the cut glass dish.
You said you wanted four.
To eat them all, my only wish-
But you, to settle scores.

Now they’re gone, each sweet treat;
I’ll head back to the store.
Our bickering is now complete-
You, penny candy whore.
