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.

Floating round the funfair,
passing ponyshows and carousels.
Light fluffy clouds of loveliness,
whirling round a warm cone of steel,
rising in the air (colours – optional)
held by a cuzzin of the old oak tree

There’s something different
in the chocolate wafer i enjoy
with my cup of tea
Just beyond the layer of chocolate
its like a host of bees have been playing
creating perfect hexagons in the wafers
Not too sticky, and not too sweet
smell passing the nose
wafts of honey with each individual chomp

I
Sweltering heat on Mediterranean shores
quenching relief required
up in the trees lies a solution allied with
aqua cool and clear
sensational on a summers day
help yourself to a glass or two
II
Oranges, Lemons, Blackcurrants
just the job on a hot sunny day
something sweet and juicy to
cool off while out of the hot summer sun
sweet and juicy – and with ice
quite refreshing
III
Sports stars take a break in the halves
quenching their thirst and keeping
units of water up – to keep cool
as they run around the
sporting arena – football, tennis, or athletics, without it its
hell out there.

Pay close attention
if you go down to the woods today, you
could spot something furry
noshing away on honeycomb
its carved away
carefully from a nearby tree
II
Pears and Apples
in
close proximity are
nice accomplishments
if our furry friends want something to
chomp on
III
Placed on a blanket
its easy to see
cuddly and furry teddies in their
natural habitat….sharing a spot with
insects and birds, enjoying the sweet stuff
collected
#Socs #Fridge
The seal popped
The jar opened
The flavours released
sweetened fruit held in suspension
spread over hot buttered toast
sensations – smell sight and taste – heightened
Warm strawberry tastes
Wild , sweet and welcoming
Tasted with every bite
The rest of the flavours – locked in the jar
kept in a place with the polar bears
for tomorrows crumpet feast
#CYW #Piggypink
Pink piggies like the ones in the farm
on a plate with instant charm
really tasty with their marshmallow noses
krafty icing with a number of poses
perhaps you’d be worried – about poor mr pig
in fact – when i tell you – you might do a jig
news is – i can tell you – that no pigs come to harm
king of his field – is still sat in the farm
#CYW #Peach
Picked from the trees in the hills of Asia
each fruit furry to the touch
and juicy with every bite – just watch out for the stone in the middle
can be eaten on its own, or with custard or cream
hot out of the oven – its wonderful in a pie or a flan
#FDDA #Sweet #Sponge #Puddings
I do like a sponge pudding
coming to life in the oven
covered in fruity delights
sweet soft pillows of loveliness
and that’s before you get to the custard!
I
Bitter, Salty, Sweet or Sour
Sensations landing on your tastebuds
What is that wonderful fruity flavour
It’s on the tip of your tongue
but you haven’t said it yet
II
Raspberry Jacket and Banana Shirt
with trousers and shoes to match
maybe it’s the height of fashion in the magazines
certainly makes you talk of the town on the shopping run
III
Country or Town
Suburbia or out in the sticks?
Cottage, Terrace, Mansion or Shed ?
Choice of Home – is down to you
but it’s not everybody’s cup of tea
