Baseball Cards

Baseball Cards

I bought a pack
Of baseball cards
With bubble gum inside

There were six cards
Inside the pack
Each card was different

I wanted to collect
All 300 cards, so
I kept on buying packs

But I kept getting
The same cards
Over and Over

And the ones
I really wanted
Were so hard to find

I stopped buying
Baseball cards
But I have lots of gum!

Ah, baseball cards, the lottery tickets of our youth. Are they still sold and collected?

I love your presentation and the last line brings it all together.

thanks

[MHenry]

Thank you all for reading! Because you took the time to read this, I will let you in on the secret. This isn't actually about baseball cards (or gum).
I would interested to see if anyone can find the hidden meaning!

[lunar glide]

my guess is the bubble gum souvenirs collected over repetitive patterns in decisions regarding perhaps unsatisfactory relationships?

[MHenry]

You are on the right track, lg!

[lunar glide]

the inconsolable collector!

[MHenry]

That is a great summation of this piece, lg! It works perfectly.
However, the intended meaning is a bit further from the surface, and it may just be too obscure. A fault of the author, but fully intended.
