Don’t Eat Too Much Candy by Victoria

I got $20, I’m spending it on candy.
I’m buying lots of sweets and treats
and I’m keeping it all handy.

My sister found my secret stash
and ate it far too quickly.
I really hope she stops that soon-
she’s looking very sickly.

Her skin has gone quite green,
and she really thinks I’m mean…
but she kept on eating more and more
and then complained her tummy’s sore.

I think she learnt her lesson
So there’s no need to worry.
