The Sweet Shop

There's a shop down the street where all the school kids meet; a shop of wonders and delight all wrapped up in one big bite Step inside this tasty paradise, take a bite of fudge, take another slice; jars full of gobstoppers and pear drops, and in the freezer icicle pops. Exploding mouths full of tingling space dust, an amazing taste and a sugar rush; cola bottles, flying saucers, and lemon sherbets white chocolate mice, drumsticks, and candy cigarettes. Spending pocket money every day not worrying about tooth decay; a bagful of happiness just for a penny, keeping close to the chest, not sharing any. Time to go home and enjoy the feast, just for a few minutes at least; until tomorrow after school to the shop we all thought was cool.
