Toffee Apple Tragedy

A little boy had a big lick
Of a toffee apple on a stick,
His tongue got stuck
When he had a huge suck,
Poor little red-tongued Rick.

Hi Njeri, Don't feel sorry for the little boy. When he grew up he released a song called, 'Stuck On You,' and it was a huge success. It was released on Red Label, a subsiduary of Sticky Sounds. Kind regards----John
