peeps haiku

Sugar coma gleams
in the beady waxen eyes
nothing can dissolve.

Up on the top shelf
reached only by wobbly chair-
they wait, tempting me.

That perfect staleness
Sugar crunch and chewy mush
Party in your mouth!

Chocolate rabbits
compared to those fluffy peeps
seem somehow ... hollow.

Close the microwave,
push some buttons, and behold,
it's Jabba the Peep!

Seemingly harmless
their artificial colors
make some men go mad.

Yellow over white,
like pee on fresh fallen snow
it might taste better!
