Sebastian dressed like a toff
Other people he would scoff
He was a snob, I suppose
People named him
Toffee nose...

You have to grapple
To eat a Toffee Apple
They are a Toffee treat
And even stickier to eat
Unless you are a jackal...

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....

Chocolate chilli fudge cake
Strawberry kebabs
Millionaires' shortcake squares
Toffee apple tart
Muffin & whipped cream
Afternoon

Google a topic to discuss
Only you can elaborate to us
Over a warm cup of coffee
Ginger ale or milk with toffee
Let us hear you thoroughly
Else be hazy inadvertently....

There once was a company that brewed coffee
With lovely flavors like raspberry and toffee
     One year they made clear
     To remove all reindeer
Christians cry "Where's Holly Hobby?!?"...

A simple pleasure is all I desire,
Like sitting in front of a fire. 
Or reading a book
Inside a nook,
Possibly even drinking coffee
With a tad bit of toffee.
Those are simple pleasures to me....

Breath 
Sticky and sweet
Like grandma's toffee,
Breath
Caustic and concrete
Like dad's coffee,
Breath
Evasive and effete
Like mum's Hennessy,
Breath
Obscure and oleate
Like a lover's lolly...

My best friend, Jemima
She’s in my class at school
She’s not especially pretty
She’s not what you’d call cool
She can’t spell words for toffee
She always gets in late
She’s never got a pencil, but
Jemima’s my best mate...

Our candy treats we always share
there’s one for you and one for me
We divide our booty to make it fair
you adore lollies, but I love toffee!

Words are fun 
Tah Dah Tad De Doo
Skipping with sun
Carousing in blue

I am eager to drink coffee
From a faerie elf’s shoe
Add a little sweet toffee

Once there was a man called Mike & Irk	
got his sweetheart “sweet tooth” pop rocks,
Bon-bon, candy, lollipop, toffee
Wonka laffy taffy cherry
Bloody how could the “old salt” indulge in sweet-talk?

The lemon drop child
looked at the world
through sherbet fountain eyes.
Her sour cherry lips
spouting black jack words,
whilst her mind was an
aniseed twist.

Her rhubarb and custard complexion
and curly wurly 
liquorice hair
Belied her treacle toffee soul
No love heart there....

The sun's not up it's much too early
House so quiet it's almost surly
Could brew some coffee
And chew on toffee
Sure wish I had a cat called Curley

Once me and my chimp friend bald Jim
flew through a forest limb to limb
his opposable thumb
got caught in my ho-hum
thank God old Jim’s not real prim.

My name is Miss Fine and Dandy
Bald Jim often brings me candy
a banana toffee
always does it for me
and him, since he's oh so randy....

take me back 
into the sixties
not eighteen but

nineteen 
sixties where
you weren't just

dulce you
we're toffee
needing chew

sucking
smothering by
tongue together

and then
the taking 
and the tasting

of your
carmilized
tree sap are you

sure
you aren't
a maple tree...

Cotton candy clouds
drop
Cream soda rain
onto
the vanilla fudge ground.

And twizzler trees
without
Maple cookie leaves
stretch
through powdered sugar fog.

As toffee puddles
flow
Gingerbread houses
glow
from their butterscotch lights.

Slumber in dreams of tropical days
Dreaming of wonder and fanciful ways
Chocolate houses with marshmallow doors
Sweetness abound with toffee floors

Fudge paving stones line the syrup streets
This dream is full of favourite treats
With clouds of tasty cream from Devon
This is a sweet dream made in heaven...

Sunshine Coffee 
The coffee bean needs a sunshine beam
you can get a coffee caramel and toffee 
I like my coffee nothing added or taken away
I like to taste it the sunshine way 
brewed and served with a smile 
keeping me awake for another mile
the more sunshine the more the kick 
coffee bean to the extreme...
