Ye Olde Sweet Shop! Poem by Tracey TEE

Glass Jars filled with sherbert
Like coloured grains of sand....

The mint imperials... pure white
they sure do look grand!

Acid Drops and Apple cubes
Gosh there's so much choice

Banannas and Custard and Aniseed Rocks
They both sound ohhhhhh sooooooo nice.

Blackjacks.... not had those for years
Chocolate bonbons and Cinder Toffees

Mint Humbugs and Peaches and Cream
Alphabet letters and Liquorice Wheels

Those were the days when Sweet shops were pretty
when Gran used to take us into the city.......

50 pence each bought Many delights
our brown paper bags overflowed

What a splendid Sight.........
