SWEETS OF MY YOUTH

I recall they were kept in a tight sealed lid
The sweets I enjoyed when I was a kid 
What a selection I had back in the day 
Here's my story and this is what I say 

Chews for a penny money well spent 
Parma Violets gave off such a lovely scent
Gave my Love Hearts to a girl at school
She thought me hip and ever so cool 

Flying saucers had super sherbet inside 
Double lollies from my sister I would hide 
Curly Wurlys for that chocolate fix 
So much better than Mars and Twix 

Chewits gave a most satisfying chew
Fizz Bombs would turn my tongue dark blue
I loved my sweets back then and I still do
I pray that sweets will never become taboo
