Sweet Party Invite

For your (Turkish) Delight party invite Sweetshop had shut up for the day The Maltesers decided they were going away They packed their gear in a Dairy Box To climb a Glacier called Mint Fox The sweets were now all wide awake There was All Sorts of fun to make The Chocolate Mice ran to and fro As the Mars Bars to Mothers Pub did go The Kit Kats spotted the chocolate mice Who ran circles round the Coconut Ice The Bounty cried because it was in dry dock Time showed After Eight on the big wall clock. The Marathons were training very hard Some Pear Drops and Spangles standing on guard The Smarties were looking for a Treet They moved up market to Quality Street. The clever Jelly Tots got carried away Too lazy to walk, they used a Milk Tray The Dolly Mixtures danced and sang To All Gold heavy metal music -Bubble Gum went off with a bang. The Coconut Mushrooms went timid and shy Wine Gums and Chocolate Buttons looking up to the sky To see The Sherbet Flying Saucers whizzing around The Liquorice Torpedoes stayed firmly on the ground The Jelly Tots decided to loop the loop Chocolate Cigarettes played Polo20and Hula Hoop Sherbet Dips joined their friend Liquorice Straw The Crème Eggs were lying flat out on the floor. Even the Minstrels loved this free for all party The Humbugs were picking a fight with a Smartie But they all agreed a good Feast was had by all As they danced the night away at the Aniseed Ball.
