How Sweet It Is

HOW SWEET IT WAS I stand here recalling my childhood When we went on a playing spree Running across the rocky road Pretending to be a dove so free We created our own little street galaxy And played skittles across our Milky Way The one who hit all was titled hero sno-caps And the one who missed was zero butterfinger jay Running around the stones like nerds We had a good time like a jolly rancher We ate sweet Kit Kat during the breaks And will always remember that 5th avenue adventure.

Hi Jo. I'm not around PS much but I saw your name and wanted to read you. Now I have a sweet tooth, longing for a Kit Kat.

That was really fun to read Jo. You did a wonderful job with the candy bar names. (You forgot to make "skittles" bold) In case that matters or not. Loved this one.
