A little runny honey
is lovely to lick,
but a lot just makes my tummy
sick;
and chocolate too is yummy,
but it makes me feel so funny
if I stuff enough,
picking from the packet
until somehow I get
sick
of it –

it’s  puzzling
that guzzling
sweets lose their taste –
what a waste!
it’s boring to play,
with no work at all, all day,
so it does seem a rule
that sweets with no dinner,
will never be a winner –
see how cool you can be –

How long can your easter eggs last?

Not long in my case. But everything you say is so right. What a fun poem full of lovely rhyme and sweet things!

Craving something sweet now, Bear's poem gave me some sugar too.  No chocolate in the house, only liquorice. :(  Have to read your poem again. :)

And I have to be careful with my liquorice, esp with aniseed! Thanks, Helen. Rhiannon

Oh, this is fantastic, Rhiannonsmiley  My husband bought me five eggs this  Easter.  Generous you might say.  But on the other hand when you consider I only eat the chocolates inside them, and never the egg itself, I'll give you three guesses  as to who doessmiley

Lovely poem, and a belated Happy Easter to you and yours.

Thanks, Tina. I'm glad you enjoyed it, and I hope you have been enjoying those eggs and chocolates without rushing them! I hope you both have had a happy Easter. Such warm weather the last few days, we've forgotten the earlier winds and cold! Rhiannon
