Candy!

Candy, candy, candy...
I love candy!

Candy is so yummy to my tummy
It makes me want to have more.
I love how sticky, soft, and sweet it is...
Especially the one-cent candies.
OMG, there is so much to explore
   in the everlasting candy land shops!

When I went into my favourite tuck shop as a kid,
I observed everything very closely.
These candies were all in little tiny brown paper bags
   priced at one cent, 5 cents, 25 cents, 50 cents, 75 cents and a dollar gave you much more because the dollar selection were not in brown paper bags at all.  They were in the dollar surprise bags called the candy loot bags; you never knew what you were going to get inside them!

The tuck shop clerk was a person that I used to call the candy shop dream.  He would laugh at my given name to him and said to me:  "If you would like some specialty candy that's behind my counter, that's cool too."  

My reply to him was:

 Thank you, kind sir...I will see you again soon!
