Yesterday was National Candy Corn Day. Now, as they say, there are 364 shopping days left until the next National Candy Corn Day.
Of course, National Candy Corn Day should have been a day of merriment and mirth (in addition to the consumption of bags and bags of candy corn). Instead, it was a day of madness and mourning.
The mourning: News broke early on NCCD of the death of Candace “Candy” Koren, the Chief Global Implementation Identity Consultant and Regional Paradigm Analyst for the World Candy Corn Congress. News about her passing is HERE.
The madness: The day was filled with non-stop work on the part of the resistance against the War on National Candy Corn Day and the persecution of candy cornians.
This is just an infinitesimally small amount of the provocation and persecution we had to encounter and endure:

Every year we look forward to National Candy Corn Day, and every year we fight the fight to combat the War on National Candy Corn Day. Of course, all of our efforts are worth it, because we know that NCCD will roll again next year, and we’ll have yet another opportunity to “instigate an appetite for more sweet candy corn,” as affirmed in Emmett Lee Dickinson’s poem “That it will always come again” (below on the left).
Perhaps Dickinson’s poem will inspire you to eat a little more candy corn. It did inspire his third cousin Emily to pen her poem “That it will never come again” (below on the right).
| By Emmett Lee Dickinson: That it will always come again Is what makes life so sweet. Believe what some don’t believe Does not exasperate. That when it comes, it be at best A time of life reborn, That instigates an appetite For more sweet candy corn. | By Emily Dickinson: That it will never come again Is what makes life so sweet. Believing what we don't believe Does not exhilarate. That if it be, it be at best An ablative estate – This instigates an appetite Precisely opposite. |
Continue to fight the fight! Candy corn matters.
