A Red Lollipop

A fading red lollipop shuffled slowly up to me Told me kids now avoid him ‘cos he’s not nutritious, you see I whispered something in his ear with which he seemed to agree Tell ‘em you’re packed with Vitamin S & C I said ~ (You know, for Sweet Candy)

Aren't doughnuts all sugar-free like the lollipops of which you speak? I wish. Remember the Tootsie Pop commercial that asked, "How many licks does it take to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop?" Boy am I dating myself. :-( Now I want something sweet. Cute little sugary poem Gershon.

You could always melt that red lollipop down and pour it over an apple. My fave treat in Autumn ad at the fair. A sweet write Gershon. God Bless, JB
