Silver and Gold

Lollipops and lemon drops
  loll lazy on the tongue

From ten silver fillings ~
  gold 'new words' are sprung

Glad my teeth can't speak they would be telling me off for the sweet things I sometimes eat. Emilia : )

We used to call those lollipops “suckers” My grands can keep those lazy pops lolling for quite a while.

Oh, I think I know what you mean. Anymore I must be very careful what I eat for fear I'll require more dental work.
