Best Toffees Poems

I crave sticky butter mint balls

Liquorice allsorts from the candy stalls
Orange smarties,  my  favourite treat
Violet crumbles I just love to eat
English toffees for me to masticate

Chocolate drops make me salivate
Aniseed balls would paint my tongue red
Nougat or should I choose fruit gums instead
Dime...

Junior school

Years gone by and we are all still fools 
For the silly things we laughed at school
Farting and burping and breaking the rules
Making large bubble gum circles whilst swimming in the local pool
Playing tennis in the summer because Wimbledon was cool
Weekends on muddy pitches...

Pick & Mix
 

Oh Frank. W. Woolworths what have you done,

You have taken away all of the fun.

Buying the traditional Pick & Mix,

Was a yearly ritual like the turkey and stuffing mix,

Trying to cram as many as you could

 Into the large cardboard tub.

Trying to...

I knew it was coming up to Christmas when Mom started to stress
About the lack of money and if she could get us all a new dress
I knew it was Christmas Eve when we left Father Christmas a drink & mince pie
& when we went...

i love to eat, it is my dream to eat and eat, 
and while the tastes, to heaven take, I fry 
up half a pound of hake, but that is nothing 
my lips to take, when in the fiery kitchen bake,
 a cake of such...

Sight.
Sound.
Smell.
Taste.
The trains.
The tracks.
The rush, the haste.
The sweeties and toffees,
Newspapers and coffees,
Cases and bags, e-cigs and fags,
Pasty and tanned, iphone in hand,
The people who come and the people who go
And the Taxis that wait, as you cannot be late -
Spill out men in their ties, College...

'The Journey'

Sight.
Sound.
Smell.
Taste.

The trains,
the tracks,
the rush, the haste.

The sweeties and toffees,
newspapers and coffees,

Cases and bags, e-cigs and fags,
pasty and tanned, iphone in hand,

The people who come and the people who go
and the Taxis that wait, as you cannot be late -

Spill out men in their ties,...

In the following months to come
Want to lose the weight off my bum
Will go to the gym
Will try to think thin
But to toffees I will succumb...

T'was the week before Christmas, as I watched the live stream
I could hardly believe what I could see on my screen.
With Manchester losing to Norwich two one,
We could keep our top spot if we held out and won.

On a day that a legend of football...

Ice Cream Companions An Acrostic by James E Lee Sr.


Indefatigable brownies ingest eaten with chocolate cake.
Chewy candies treat nuts and cherries.
English toffees mixed in milk and cream boysenberries?

Crude digests absorb ate to fast brain freeze.
Red strawberries absorb flavor.
Edible earths erode moo cow liquids.
Adjacent frozen earths...

Let's take a journey back in time to the 1900's
when children would delight in regular visits to
their sweet shop in England, they had a large
range of lollies and their eyes would all light up
at the sight of these delectable treats, they had...

when i came into this world, 
i was embraced by my parents
and was lying
in my mom's lap curled

they were very happy
as i was theiir first child
they were thanking the almighty,

small girls like
playing with dolls
but i loved playing cricket
with my dad...

Whilst sat on my sofa watching TV I think, ooh I fancy a snack

So I treat myself to a biscuit or two and before I know it I've had the whole pack


Whilst engrossed in my programme, I am not paying much attention to me happily...
