Lickin Sugar

I recall the moment when 
we last argued about whose
Sugar Daddy was the pointiest - 
laughing when you had
accidentally pricked your tongue
proving with blood that
      you had won!

Heck, running with scissors was
    far less dangerous!

Candy we had to work much
harder at than a Baby Ruth,
along with other five and ten cent
treats much more quickly consumed
like the years of childhood
that were licked away by time, yet,
Sugar Daddy memories last
           forever...

Brings back memories of those succulent Sugar Daddies - also love the lines 'like the years of childhood/that were licked away by time' - enjoyed this treat!
