The 64 Pack

The envy of the classroom
Back when I was just a child
Wasn't someone who could run real fast
Or one whose hair was styled.

Didn't matter who was smartest
Or who was the teacher's pet
But the one who managed to procure
What no one else could get.

For though everyone had crayons
(All Crayola, like as not),
We all craved the 64 Pack - 
So much more than most had got.

There were colors we'd not heard of,
All lined up in ordered rows - 
With a sharpener included!
(Quite a bonus, I suppose.)

Many years have zipped by quickly
And although I know the score,
Guess my husband wasn't privy - 
He bought Henry* 24!
