Marshmallow Minions

Minions are so mischievous
          but can be oh so sweet. 

Three left in my son’s Easter basket     
             could be a tasty treat.

Yellow covered marshmallows
         with beady chocolate eyes
dipped in sugar sprinkles -
           a sugar-rush surprise!

One gave me a stomach ache,
     one gave a cavity,
           the other tickled till I cried.

                They're cuter on TV!
