THE SWEET SHOP

It was about the age of 13 or so
That my addiction to sweets started to grow 
After school I would rush to the shop
Filling my pockets with sweets I could not stop

The selection before me was a joy to behold 
Over 100 different varieties or so I was told 
Tooty fruities, smarties and jelly tots
Milk chocolate raisons brought me out in spots 
Let's not forget the flying saucers and the milk chews 
I had to fuel my sweet addiction there was no time to lose 

The 13 year old boy has now turned into a man
I still eat sweets when I can 
The sweets of today are not quite the same 
More expensive and less choice which is a crying shame
