Jelly Bean Betrayal

Perusing the goods
at my local Trader Joe's
I found jelly beans.

Squee! Gourmet jelly
beans with 18 natural
flavors! Exciting!

I open the box,
peering in I see a sea
of...Wait. Need the key.

Colors. So many.
Indistinguishable from
each other. Of course.

It couldn't end there,
could it, Joe? You must wound me
deeper. Purple bean.

On the box purple's
CLEARLY grape. Or blackberry.
Not liquorice, Jerk.

Tangerine matches
pink grapefruit. Strawberry, cher-
ry, raspberry too

all the same damn hue.
How can I choose my fav'rit
if they are all LIES?

But then you go and
cut me again, Joe. There is
fucking WHEAT in these.

Wheat in jelly beans.
Jelly beans that lie and cheat,
robbing me of joy.

It's fine, Joe, really.
My jelly bean purchases
now? Jelly Belly.
