Jan Allison Poet Light Verse

Notes About The Poem

Halloween Horror

Halloween horror

Sally hides sweet candy under table
(Since sweet candy makes teeth decay)


Mummy angry...
Finds trick treat candy boxes empty
Jelly beans, fruit salad, black jacks  - whole stash eaten!

Sally looks awful..
Tummy aches
Sally spews vomit
Nasty vomit shows candy


Daddy cross 
Mummy livid...
Early night Sally!
Sulky Sally cries



A little laughter five contest

Lin Lane February 20, 2018 at 4:22 PM I am SO glad I wasn't eating anything while reading this, Jan. lol So I get that you were allowed to use only 5-letter words. What I don't get is that you have candy called fruit salad and black jacks? What are they? Jan Allison February 20, 2018 at 5:11 PM They are chewy sweets fruit salad are fruity, black jacks are aniseed.... I still buy them lol:-)

Tom Cunningham February 20, 2018 at 2:22 PM Thing is we take those bad habits into adulthood, Pringles, Jaffa cakes lol. Good luck in the contest Jan. Tom Jan Allison February 20, 2018 at 5:06 PM You can still get bags of them in the £1 shops:-) hugs Jan xx Tom Cunningham February 20, 2018 at 4:16 PM Wow, that's taken me back, black jacks and fruit salad's, after a feast on black jacks you'd have a black tongue lol Jan Allison February 20, 2018 at 2:35 PM I'll confess there is a little truth in this tale... my parents ran a shop... We weren't allowed sweets. I was about 3.. I took some black jacks and fruit salad They were sold lose 8 for 1 penny back then... and I climbed under the dining room table and ate them ... what gave me away was leaving the wrappers... my mum looked at me and I burst into tears (wasn't sick) I still adore those sweets along with real lion's midget gems :-) hugs Jan xx
