My life hangs
in the balance
as you must understand
when I am a slave
to supply
and economic demand.
I sit here everyday
and it's very painful
to see
every consumer who shows up
never picks someone
like me.
Of course with fierce competition
brand names
are often the key
so I am defeated by the yuck factor
leaving me behind
in misery.
The vending machine is now empty
and yes
I'm playing the blues.
All of the other tenants
are now gone
but that's just old news.
Chocolate bars, chips
and fresh mints
are always on their way
and yet here I am
forever
destined to stay!
If it all comes down to taste
I'll be the last one
on the shelf.
So please do something
quick.
I have deteriorating mental health.
Naturally
you'll never select me.
I'm not exactly dumb
when the name
they've chosen for me
is Black Tar chewing gum!
