How Sweet It Is

Rules: Use at least 10 candy names from those listed below. (30 candy names used) Tomorrow we'll explore our Galaxy, not just by space ship, but with 'space nerds' too! We smarties, gifted Mike and Ike, with me, will start our marathon and journey through the Milky Way, where now and later we'll be called 'Three Musketeers', the best, bar none, to capture live a star burst with great zeal, or see sno-caps on spheres far from the sun. We bet each other a full 100 grand, that we'll make history on this space spree; discover whoppers, things we beforehand knew zero 'bout those sites we couldn't see. We're on a rocky road, since asteroids can put an end to pay day...must take 5, and watch our every move like paranoids, not air heads, if we want to stay alive. We'll take along some good Boston Baked Beans with hot tamales and Ike's Charleston Chew, a snack his mom bakes filled with good proteins; and frozen Swedish fish will please us too. Okay, we're off to Club 5th Avenue for a good meal before we board for flight. The Jolly Rancher hamburg, or Dots stew, are lifesavers to please our appetite before we're stuck with whatchamacallit food, Mr. Goodbar, cook, packed up to go. Goodbye for now...from sunlit to starlit, please wish us mounds of luck from down below. Sandra M.

Thank you for reading my poem, Geoffrey. Surely a silly one, but a difficult one to make sense with having to use those "sweet" names. Glad you enjoyed it. Sandra :):)
