vending machine treasures
junky snack pleasures
sicky sweetness mingling
with salty choices galore
hungry teenager eyes explore
7 UP
Butterfingers
Coke
Crunch
Cinnamon Bear Claw
Kit-Kat
M & M’s a chocolate gem!
salty potato chips
chocolate peanut butter Reese’s pieces
fruity sweet Skittles
snickers
caramel heavenly Twix
Yoo-hoo chocolate soda
pick my item of choice
insert crumbled dollar
clatter
clunk
return
oh this is a concern
smooth my tattler dollar to make it work
this better work or I will go berserk!
whir
buzz
return
damn it!
dollar bill
will not work!
rip the velcro wallet open
quarter
nickle
penny
which are many
please work!
insert
clatter
thud
push for my almond frosted bear claw!
metal claw, whirring around and around
grab it..
grab it…..
right there…….
and……
it missed it!

Loved this hope you win
Vending machines are the worst when they don't work.
The vending machines are my source of frustration as a kid now I don't even bother using it. Great job.
That is a "sweet" list of forbidden temptation for me
Salty potato chips. That's the love of my life hehehehe. Loved your poem
Arghhhhhh! I once had a vending machine swallow my money without dispensing the soda at a convenience store after hours. Aggravated, I began shaking the machine. Suddenly I heard someone give an exasperated cry, "Randy!" I looked all around. There was no one there. Then I thought, "But there are security cameras." Groan!
Been there done that many times during undergrad and grad school, but got to have that snack.
😣 ooh, been there! Nice poem. The Velcro wallet detail was great.
