Willy Wonka

Willy Wonka sang the cheeriest of songs
to every child he did see.
For what other adult could eat candy all day long
and not get a single cavity?

One of the few musicals I halfway enjoyed... it's a classic for sure! How embarrassing would that be to admit to his cavity though... he he he...

I love chocolates. But I am forbidden, d-i-a-b-e-t-e-s ha! ha!. I love Charlie & the Chocolate Factory. Though the book meant for kids, I enjoyed it, and read several times. Oompa Loompa! I love that name. Richard is right here, very cute! Hugs 4 u Thanks for your Reply to my ABC doubt.

Candy is a blessing and a curse... sorry to hear about the diabetes, thought I guess in a way it can be a good thing. Forces you to stay away from all the bad-for-you stuff!

Hmm... never heard of that one! I guess all the candy would be fine (just as long as you brush your teeth half a dozen times a day.... he he).

This reminds me of the Alice Cooper song, 'Unfinished Sweet', if memory serves there's a line in it goes, 'And the rotten tooh fairy is satisfied'.
