 Cracker Jack Dreams
Cartier? Wishful thinking
yet it doesn't cost to dream

Or does it?

Speaking of Ice, Harry Winston came to mind
yet after doing the math we came up quite a
few dollars short

and so the dilemma came to be

Where could we get the most bang for our buck?

Sincere intentions have became our focus
of attention, but at what price?

Innocence comes to mind and so we set out
to find the ring of rings, the one to
seal the deal

Digging deep into near empty pockets
we fumble through crumbled unchecked
lottery tickets, some lint and two
quarters that probably saw a better day

Today I would part with silver and invest
in a Cracker Jack dream

Many years ago, when Grey was more Brown
and puppy love meant the world to a skinny
kid from Brooklyn, she was very much upon my mind

So much so that hundreds of boxes later that ever
elusive prize felt near and dear to my heart

Nothing less than one more roll of the dice
would capture her attention

Nervously making my way to the register I threw
caution to the wind and walked out with the
last box of Cracker jack

Inside of it would be the prize that would capture
more than a Kodak moment

It would win her heart and mine would come to
know love unlike I could ever know

Ripping through the top of the box, I shook out
the Caramel and Peanuts

Dropping from within protected by white paper
packaging with sweet kernels clinging to it
would be the ring, soon to be hers

There Love would be born forever
more

and no other ring would be worn or mean
more to her than this Cracker Jack gem

Photobucket

Or at least we hope so
