Two Lenses

Marshmallows, when I was a kid I'd eat a whole bag, and I did I felt like a winner but ruined my dinner and hid when my mum flipped her lid. When I see those things now, white and pink I look at those sweeties and think my God, they were sickly I'd turn pale so quickly and then I'd throw up in the sink. 176th Feb 2016 For contest 'Two lenses', sponsor Sara kendrick

Thank you for participating in my contest “Two Lenses”..It was an honor to read your entry..Sara..Too much of a good thing is not good..There is a test that one can do with small children to see if they have impulse control which helps to predict there future personality..The test is to give them one marshmallow and tell them if they don't eat it when you get back they can have two marshmallows and then you leave the room..Those that eat it immediately have not impulse control..LOL..

If you like things that are pink and white and squishy, Sara, I'll send you a photo of me getting out of the bath. That should put you off marshmallows for life :( . Thanks for an interesting topic for a contest. Viv x

Nicely done, maybe we get smarter as we get older or sometimes we revert to being children again. Marshmallow dreams to you, soft and cushioned. DMB

I know them well. They are like Pringles, no such thing as one at a time. Or sour jellies. I can't get enough. I thing there is a secret ingredient.

This is great, Viv...the two sides of the coin! Both limericks have been written so well that they can be read out in one whole smooth flowing sentence. As usual, you deserve a high rating! gl in the contest. // paul

haha. I did a thing with them called Gishy Gishy Goo We would put one between our two thumbs and forefingers and just work them into TAFFY!! Taffy pulling amateur style. I tried it last year. Just not the same any more, but I certainly would not throw up to eat one!!
