PARMA VIOLETS

What amazing sweets parma violets are
Superior to all other sweets by far 
Even the name sounds rather grand 
Try one my friend then you'll understand 

Small in size but so very big on taste 
Good for the mouth bad for the waist
Suck them or crunch them it's your call
Get my weekly supply from the market stall

About fifteen in a packet they soon disappear 
First started eating these beauties in my fifth year
Part of my childhood I guess that's true 
Far more tastier than a bowlful of stew
