BB Bats-A Penny Saved Is A Penny Earned

BB Bats-A Penny Saved Is A Penny Earned
 
I just told Linda about a taffy sucker, that she’d never heard of before;
They’re called delicious “BB Bats”, I used to buy them at my old school store!
They only cost but a penny, and tasted so darn fine;
Strawberry and Banana were my favorites, so yummy on to dine!
.
Maybe they never came to Boston, but in Ohio they were rife;
And for only just one red cent each, they were the best buys of my life!
I thought they were long out of business, these goodies from my past;
But when Linda pulled them up on Google, almost a century do they last!
.
They’re still manufactured in New York State, the flavors just the same;
But the cost of them has changed a bit, the price went up in this poker game!
Now each one is twenty-nine cents, inflation personified;
But I’m still planning on ordering some, my old craving not to be denied!
.

                                They cost just one cent
                           So happy was this young man
                                With his sweet budget
