Gordon I have always wondered why black jelly beans are always the last to be left in the jar. Your poem has me licking my lips and wishing there was some licorice in the house, But I must admit a few of those treats are new to me, seems like I have been missing out. Great poem Gordon Loved it. Best wishes Wen

Thanks Wendy, Glad you enjoyed this piece making you licking your lips. Some of the sweets I mentioned may have been only available in the UK so that's why you didn't know them. Have a blessed Easter, Gordon x

Very entertaining nostalgia, Gordon. As a kid what I liked best about liquorice, was none of the other kids liked it, so I could buy it, offer it, and then eat it all by myself.
