Candy!

I like candy, sour or sweet,
I feel the tingle go down through my feet.

Toffee's are sweet and go all soggy,
The perfect place to eat them is down at the lobby.

Sherbet sour, tangy and tart,
The bitter sweet taste warms up my heart.

Licorice chewy, gooey and rare,
they stick to my teeth but I really dont care.

Lollipops adults don't seem to eat,
Are a baby's best friend and a teenagers treat.

My favourite of all are soft gummy bears,
Because when I lift up apacket the whole world cares.
