I don’t know what you’d call it
Inflation , perhaps ?
If you took your single gold coin
Inside the confectioner’s
It would give you half the bag of boiled sweets
Instead of what you got last year
In fact you wouldn’t get any change
It would leave you with empty pockets.
#Fowc #combination
some call it a recipe
others a mixture
several ingredients
coming together in a bowl
to form the perfect pudding
and it isn’t the flour , butter or eggs
that are the star of the show
or even the fruit thats gone in or over it
no – this is a team effort
served up on a serving spoon after the chicken dinner
key question – anyone for custard?
#fowc #indulge
The stall it caught you unawares
and for a while all you did was stare
at the sweet and flavourful things on display
you bought a bag, and made your way
your favourite things held in a bag
like some sweet toothed burglars swag
coconut, cherry, vanilla and cream
all sat in a bag – your sweet tooth’s dream
but now you find its gone half past six
and you find yourself in an almighty fix
for the sweet stuff can wait – to a degree
as dad has made sausages for tea
so you wait for a while – and enjoy your tea
whilst the cubes of sweetness wait with glee
till your taste buds start to jump and stomp
and on pieces of fudge – you do chomp
Crafted from wisps of warm sugar
out of the machine it forms
taking the shape of a cloud
the cloud rises on the warm air
on some occasion, it has to be caught in the
nick of time, before it floats off on its own
Could there be a treat sweeter than this
as the candyman catches the cloud
numbers of children watch as its
delivered on the stick, all
yelling they want one – its such a sweet favorite
#FOWC #Double
a sweet tasting response from inky to fandango’s latest one word challenge
Not your normal after dinner treat
it’s got two of everything, vanilla scoops, chocolate scoops, brownies, the lot
covered in drizzles of sweet chocolate syrup
even the wafer’s got a dash of cocoa running through it
pudding – a nice light one after that large dinner
unless you really fancy jam roly poly, swimming in custard
decisions , decisions

funny what I can come up with, when I’m peckish
Sandwiched together
hot off the confectioners table
oblong biscuits of loveliness
rippled with caramel and chocolate
taken usually with a nice cup of tea
crafted by an artisan
and served up as part of an afternoon lunch
keeping watch, children with a sweet tooth
expecting a piece of this dessert after the sandwiches

7th January 2019
I received an extra present yesterday.
I’d been wandering what dad was going on about when he mentioned an extra present at the end of Christmas time
I’d enjoyed seeing the brightly coloured baubles on the Christmas tree, especially the new larger ones. They were twinkly inside. I just guessed they were part of the decoration
Time came and each of the baubles came off the branches of the tree
and Dad told me of his secret….The twinkly baubles actually contained SWEETS. The foil wrapping reflected the lights off the tree
and in one of the big round baubles , all coloured red was my special surprise – a bag of vanilla fudge.
Stop press….it’s not just my dear old dad hiding stuff in baubles. My provider of hot chocolate has been at it too…delivered on 7th January. so now there’s another metal bauble for the Christmas tree.

Open up your bag and round
a quarter of sweets for half a pound
a drumstick lolly that’s hard to beat
lemon drops for a special treat
chocolate footballs and fizzy drops
the magic candy that fizzes and pops
cola bottles and sherbet tubes
candied shrimps and pineapple cubes
Now , don’t eat them all now,
they’re a treat, we agree
but eat them all and you wont eat
the fish and chips for your tea!
ferried by box or by bag
Usually on birthdays
Delightful cubes of butter sugar and cream
Get sent to the house
Easily a delightful treat
Fairs at Christmas time
usually have stalls selling this
delicious treat, and it’s not just cubes
great shapes are made using cutters
expect strawberry hearts, mint chocolate rounds and raspberry diamonds

That Tin box in the Christmas bag hides something
Really sweet and tasty
Everyone knows its something special
As you don’t have it to excess
Thing is – you can have some every day – after you’ve eaten your dinner
