but I loved chocolate,

PDQ in Tin Foil
I’d say I wasn’t pampered,
I wasn’t treated special
but
kids could buy

or cartons of chocolate milk
mom’s the first to tell the story
that I refused my bottle at six months

into a little container
of wrapped tin foil
so I could mix PDQ
into a carton of regular milk
chocolate milk
just the way I wanted
