Ode to a Pecan Log Roll

Oh Stuckey's Pecan Log Roll
I love your crunchy exterior
You're exotic like an island atoll
All other candies are inferior
You are found along every interstate
Your nugat filling makes me quiver
I bite you once and want to celebrate
Unlike alcohol you don't hurt my liver
Oh Stuckey's Pecan Log Roll
I would rather get you in my stocking
Than a big old lump of coal
Pecan Log Roll, you keep me rocking!

For those Europeans out there that do not know the wonders and ecstacy of the Stuckey's Pecan Log Roll, you can check out the website here: Stuckey's

Stuckey's are found along most of the interstates of the United States and they have an item called the Pecan Log Roll. As a kid travelling anywhere with Mom and Dad and stopping in at a Stuckey's, the Pecan Log Roll always seemed to be the most desirable candy and of course Mom and Dad always said no. While travelling from Houston to Beaumont, Texas last week, I stopped at a Stuckey's lusting for a Pecan Log Roll. As I stood in the line waiting to pay holding the Log Roll in my trebling hand, my body surged with overwhelming joy. Giddy with excitement, I rushed out to my car to eat it. I only have one word to say after all of those years of longing and anticipation - disgusting!
