Candy Snatcher

You thought you were being so clever Bobby
Sneaking my Halloween stash while I was asleep 
But I heard you quietly rattling my candies 
Being so entranced,  you did not see me peep

After last years stealing,  I devised a  clever plan 
For sure the final time of my treats, you will be a fan
If you would have asked, I would have given you some
Now your in a pickle, and feeling really dumb 

Bro, I injected laxatives in that full size chocolate bar
That I am sure you hungeredly and enjoyably ate
Do not worry I will inform all  of your buddies
Of your absence from school or uncomfortable late

G'day Cecilia … revenge is sweet, but sometimes another retaliation occurs. Never take a sleeping pill and a laxative together before going to bed - enjoy your candy Cecilia - Lindsay

This lovely, cute poem took me back many years in time, Cecilia! I can still vividly recall my younger siblings making pigs of themselves after mistaking laxatives for chocolates!! Regards & Hugs // paul

This really made me laugh Cecelia. I playd that same trick on my husband one year at Christmas. He was being grumpy and spoiling the holiday for everyone so I slipped some chocolate Exlax into the chocolate box he loves so well. He was so busy he forgot about being mean. Great job and congrats. God Bless, JB
