Paul Callus Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

Twistees: a Maltese Treat

A delicious crispy snack
Made of rice and maize
Packed in special airtight bags
It is such a craze.

          Cheesy Twistees are attractive
          They are tasty and unique
          The result of rare technique.

They are healthy, baked not fried
Now a household name;
Many flavours to boast of
Rapid rise to fame.

          Cheesy Twistees are attractive
          They are tasty and unique
          The result of rare technique.

          Curly Twistees are so yummy
          Nothing beats them, it is true;
          Once you try them you’re addicted
          You’ll get one for price of two!!

Suzanne Delaney June 14, 2015 at 12:39 PM Hi Paul: Yummy I recall the taste of these as we had them in Australia. We used to have them on Sunday drives or at the movies. If you travel there, no need to pack your own. Enjoyed your jingle SuZ Paul Callus June 14, 2015 at 1:10 PM Yes, if I'm not mistaken they are sold in Australia, mostly because many Maltese live there, and a market was found for them. Pleased that you enjoyed my jingle. All the best. // paul
