Candy

Candy corns coming soon
Circus peanuts, full moon
Candy necklaces for Jane
Caramel cubes again?
Chunkys, one's not enough 
Candy cigarettes, puff  
Crap - what Mom calls that stuff

Thanks Andrea, you got me curious - yours is great! I consider our poems complementary, since, surprisingly, there's very little overlap in our candies, except that Chunky is a kind of chocolate.

What seems very good clinches a place as excellent with the last line

Thanks, CayCay, Mom sums it up in one line (one word really) - :-))

enjoyed this light read...and you helped me remember CHUNKYS--they were forboden when I was growing up--too much chocolate and sugar all at once.

Thanks, Sara. Yup, a nostalgic walk through the memory lane of Halloween candies of old. I wonder if they still have all the same ones. I doubt they cell those candy cigarettes nowadays.
