Toffees Poems | Examples

IMAGINARY WORLD

A world where toffees are the coins
Burgers are the mobile phones
Sandwiches are the fan
Wheel like fryums are the tyres of car and vehicles
Rain of mango shakes
Snow of glitters...

SPURSY

SPURSY

Picture a bride kissing the groom,
While Tottenham Hotspur watch us bloom.
Winning titles ain't their va va voom  

Because that's definitely not Spursy,
Their club history is so topsy-turvy,
While our trophy cabinet is too stuffy,
Filled with a Club-World-Cup trophy 

And lots of other prestigious trophies.
But Spurs belongs to the class of the Toffees.
When they ask what are your hobbies?

Tell 'em, winning titles ain't plausible
But losing to Chelsea is always possible!

All Hallows Evening

All Hallows’ Evening

     Dear kids, Hello! And All Hallows, now in party
     Play-fun: Enjoy! Taste best toffees, sweet sour candy.
     Movies funny, never scary, Joy- liberty.
      Milk shake- coffee: ice cream, custard and drink brandy.

     Making merry! Gifts to exchange: Run in rapture.
     Doing sketches, drawing designs, carving pumpkin.
     Light games witty, each to relax, joy to capture.
     Eat, sip, gossip: Hold hands, dance-prance! Free to jump in.

      Hale and hearty: Clean not dirty: Show goes simple.
       Not dark, bright night: Clear sky, starry: Full Moon lonely.
      Each face, frolic: Walk,talk,enchant: Smiles in dimple.
      Leaving devil, and the evil: Fun runs only.

     Kids or children and All Hallows , sweet dream drowsy.
     Love in pleasure: Muse to amuse, flow is easy.

I Love Candy Mia

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 bars and snickers too much temptation
Yikes! my waistline spread’s caused aggravation!

Taking Stock

TAKING STOCK

“STOCK” – the bits and pieces of accumulated this and that – with tags!
Strings of memories, and far off debt, and a sea of medicinal prescriptions rustling
In a cobweb bound table draw which needs as I do, a repair, “STOCK” then glancing across
Boxed books and movable immovable objects piano, Dresser, TVs, and three different pale green 
painted splashes of a future make over or fast fix.
Toffee -less tins stacked and not open, and only thoughts of toffees in them, and photos taken long 
ago, I think! Dog eared edges caught under the lid, - then impatience digging out the bank 
Statements, lots of cash for a rainy day, there have been many floods, and the cash is still here.
Cars and sheds and kids, and dogs, and clocks unwound, AND laptops, alone in sealed boxes.
And all this Stock for a bonfire down at the crem!  And  - relatives.

Ice Cream Companions An Acrostic By James E Lee Sr

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 review.
Mixed topping drizzle chocolate, strawberry pineapples.

Back Again

Ribbons, balloons, toffees and cakes
Nice celebration all that makes
Satiating food and desserts to follow
No celebration ever should go hollow

Long time friends arrive to meet and greet
to reassure, land stays beneath our feet
Golden times and memories to recall
to ensure, our ambitions stay tall

Hopes, plans and resolve for future
Dreams and aspirations to nurture
Its no more only about the wealth
But the sanity, happiness and health

Be it the Sunshine or the Rain
I want the life large, back again

Night For the Knight

Roads covered by dark night,
Thou there is plenty of orange light.

Samhain has arrived,
Remplir your bags to strived.

Headstone on the left,
Don’t worry, toffees won’t be theft.

Trick or treat on the right,
Once he was The Knight!

Taste

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 proportions make, washed down 
with Guinness, then medium steak. 

then there’s sweets and candies too, and warm 
buttered breads with jams a few and while we’re here,
asparagus spear, with roast potatoes, crispy sear…
yet best of all, in banquet hall, are cheeses firm 
and soft; stilton, yarg but that’s not all, there’s 
wensleydale matured and tall 

so where’s this going I heard you ask, buttered scone, 
alimentary task?...well all is simple, plain to see, just
come to mine, share some tea, chocs and toffees, 
biscuits rare, we’ll eat the lot, like we don’t care 

and as the setting sun rolls down, we’ll scoff at diets with 
hearty frown, for ours is not to trim or skip, but simply 
moisten cherry lip

Binge Eater

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 munching away

I am in a binge eating Trance, and I am happy as can be but will feel guilty as hell the next day
 
I have been dieting all week and these Biscuits are only a treat, I will get back on my plan tomorrow

But if it all fails, i can go to my size bigger friend and see if she has some clothes I could borrow.

I don't think I am fat, but I don't think I that I am thin, but i know I am addicted to food

I like Chocolates and sweets ,jelly beans and toffees, I spend my whole life in a sweetie mood

I diet I the week, and eat sweets at a weekend, I am sort of a diet cheater

It's really not my fault, but I have no excuse at all, because I am a binge eater.

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, College kids in tie-dyes,
End of termers returning to their seat of learning,
The screeching of brakes and the slamming of doors, 
From the ‘barely awakes’ and the ‘ready to go’s -
The good lucks and goodbyes, fears and tears in the eyes, 
And the hugs that don’t end and the texts that they’ll send,
The lovers, the losers, the shakers and movers, the gap-year beginners and ‘nothing to prove’rs -
Step right into the mouth of the train as it stands, hoping this journey syncs with the ticket in hand -
To all points of the compass; South, West, East and North,
The disparate throng fast shuddering forth,
Frozen of face, their personal space.
Typical of the human race.
Lost in the crowd, all heads bowed.
Silent fears, screaming loud …..
Break out the ‘Hello’s -
And ban ‘Goodbye’
Journeys end
Hovers,
Nigh.

Pick and Mix

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 be canny

 and fill every nook and cranny,

Toffees, chocs, jellies, dolly mixtures, shrimps & white mice,

They all tasted really nice.

It only cost £2 99 for the lot

It was up to you how many you got,

Now it is to be no more

Having asked at several of your stores.

Gone now is the tub you could fill with as many as you like.

It’s A bag and weigh & pay, and on your bike.

Oh Frank. W. Woolworths what have you done,

You have taken away all of the fun.

Junior School

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 pitting your wits to tackle and duel 
Flirting glances at girls although not knowing how it was cruel
Teachers bursting veins in their heads shouting to try and teach monkeys who scratch their arses and play E.T with their cagoules 
Making grass bunkers in the summer with mates and a girl would show you her white knickers for some toffees and a daisy chain to amaze at and to drool 
Remembering the children’s faces and the world we left behind to know that we had better times when we were all still fools.

Ye Olde Sweet Shoppe

Ye Olde Sweet Shoppe

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 
many different favourites like licorice and sherbet
that would melt in their mouth, mint rock, barley 
sugar sticks, lollipops, humbugs, gobstoppers as
well as the famous hand made chocolates and
toffees and many more delicacies, the children 
would drive their parents crazy until they got 
their bag of sweets, in the end the parents had
to give in to their whims and they also bought
some for themselves to eat while relaxing at home.
We go back to the present and sweets are still on
display at the local supermarket, the nostalgia
has been replaced by commercial trading, turning
over huge profits for corporate business giants.
The good old days will never return as this is the
modern world of today's money hungry executives.

Limerick In My Pocket

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
