Lollipop Day, July 20, 2015
Lollipop Day (July 20, 2015)
There is a day for everything;
there’s little that gets by.
We keep a month for breakfast prunes;
a day for pumpkin pie.
Homemade soup can have its day
and pickles get their chance,
but of the days we mark each year,
one makes me sing and dance.
The lollipop will do that gig
from small up to grotesque.
You’ll find them in the circus tents
and at the banker’s desk.
This sweet confectionary gem
will make a child’s eyes gleam;
the middle aged and old ones will
enjoy it too, it seems.
So on this day the lollipop
will give your mouth a pucker.
Now, go ahead, yes, do enjoy
this day we give to suckers!
