Bertie Bott's Every Flavored Beans,
jelly beans for the discerning palate.
When they claim to contain every flavor,
they mean
every flavor.

The pursuit of specific ones is a most dangerous game.

I once savored a "cinnamon roll" flavored bean,
and have sought out another ever since.
A distinctive brown color with little whitish flecks,
I've been convinced I'd found it again more than once.

Alas, they have all turned out to be
old soapy dishwater!
