Candy and a Mother's Love

A Mother's love
knows no bounds...
(almost)
And, like candy,
is very sweet...

She'll risk her life,
for her offspring
She'll fight with
tooth and nail...

Her brood is
her essence,
Or so I have heard,
You daren't touch
or harm them,
Or say a nasty word...

Candy is nice,
I have no sweet-tooth,
But Sees Candy
of San Francisco
is unique

They have in some malls,
Their little candy boutique

My mother cherished
her Sees Candy
It was her only vice,

And if I tried to try one,
She'd give me this advice;
"Touch my "Sees"
I'll break your arm,
Those are but for me..."

I was aghast to hear this,
A side I'd yet to see...

So let this be a lesson,
Motherly Love
Has it's limits too...
And Sees Candy
Brings them out...
Just to forewarn you.
