The Candy Store

by Gregory R Schelske

Gummy Worms and Gummy Bears-
Sour Gummies with Gummy stares.
Tootsie Pops and Tootsie Rolls-
Chocolate Tootsies with Tootsie Pulls.
Giant Pez and Lollypops-
Jelly Beans and Candy Tops.
Jelly Bellies and Choc’late Ants
In your Pants make you Dance.
Yellow Taffy and Purple Gum-
Sugared Nuts with Buttered Rum.
Berry Blasts and Pixie Sticks-
Candy Bars and Push Pop Licks.
Paper Dots and Wasabi Peas-
Yogurt Raisins if You Please.
Chick-O-Sticks and Candy Rocks-
Candy Wax that looks like socks.
Cotton Candy, Runts and Nerds-
Jujubees and Fruity Birds.
Apple Rings, DOTS and Such-
Lemon Heads I Like so Much.
Mike & Ike and Red Hots Too-
Raisinets and Charleston Chew.
Bazooka Joe and Junior Mints-
Bit-O-Honey and Fake Wax Lips.
Nerds on a Rope and Pop Rocks Sour-
Sugar Daddy with Sugar Power.
Sugar Babies and Hot Tamales-
Sugared Drinks and Cherry Jollies.
Candy Corn and Candy Canes-
Caramel Creams and Mary Janes.
Candy bars and broccoli too…
Wait a minute – who put broccoli in here?

Sweet! I can see this illustrated very colorfully in a children's book of poetry. I love the way it ends! Simply wonderful.

Very fun read - nice rhyming - I'm amazed at all the sweets we eats.... :) (and I like brocolli, too)...

HaHa! This reminds me of standing in the candy aisle of Woolworth's trying to decide which goodies to buy with my allowance. I still go on candy sprees sometimes. And I actually DO like broccoli! Very cute :)
