Sweettooth's Revenge
By: Keith FuchsDon't snicker at me goober, I'll crunch you like nougat!Then munch ya like a milky way!Or Mars if you prefer, but never a star's burst.I got kisses for tootsie rolls, ju-ju-bes for the lollies.Bits of honey, for you smarties. Jelly beans for the follies.I got whoppers that gobstop ya,For Mary Jane's sugar daddy Clarke.A jawbreaker on 5th avenue and York-Is what in store for Reese if he's too sweet with Cadbury and Heath.I'm not a jolly rancher or a sour patch kid,a zagnut, or a 3 musketeer.I'm not Mike, I'm not Ike,I'm not a nerd, I'm not a dot 0Or a piece of butterscotch.No, I'm a lemon drop warhead with atomic fireballs that come in sprees good and plenty.Not a handful of milk duds for you cheese balls, that are gummy and taffy.I put an peach ring on lady Godiva's butter finger,Oh no! I was back with an apple o in a snap like ginger.Apalonia from Appalachia was getting frisky for a crispy biskySo I fed her a fingerboard shortbread from Bromley, she got shifty.I dialed up the sun maid raisinettes, hi-chew for a 100 grand?Ah-choo! get snotty on my confection connection,won't you make it even less bland?It's a can of candy corn with dulce deliverySugary and syrupy like strawberry licorice and truffle flavored toffee.www.facebook.com/myththepoet <- Please like me!Copyright 2013, Keith Fuchs all rights reserved.
