A clarinet Beanie Baby. What a concept. I can already imagine the name, and
the insipid little verse Ty would put on the label:

Licorice

Born October 19, 1998

This little black stick
Knows where his home is at
Keep him supplied with reeds
And he'll never leave you flat!

Of course, my wife would have to buy two: one for the kids, one to keep "just
in case".
