Penny Candy Paradise
Sugary Snacks
hinged at the neck
with a treat for a tongue
Goodness in a speck
to be had, one by one
cheery characters to offer a treat
more than just fun
but a pleasure to eat
if you’re a good girl or boy
and do as your mama says
better than any toy
she may give you some pez
childhood memories last
and you may want to share
with these blasts from the past
anytime, anywhere

BARE HUNTER
CHAPTER 15 I pulled up in front of Sandy’s a little early, so I texted Becca again and left a message for Sharon, hoping she had a good day and I’d see her tomorrow. Two cars pulled into Sandy’s driveway. I don’t know why I was surprised to see another man with her. We’d been apart for two years and I certainly didn’t waste any time getting back on the horse.

I remember eating Pez but the dispensers kept breaking on me. Good work.
I have no idea what these are but I loved your poem!
Sweet!!! Loving it!!!❤️❤️💕
THis brought back some fun memories! I loved Pez and had a fair collection of dispensers.
I always had you pezzed as a Peg person, Kelli. Wait, what did I just say? Yep, always a joy--except for having to load them all the time. That was kind of a pain.
Pez is one of my favorites! This is a great poem!
I remember the penny-candy. It was such a treat when we were given a quarter to pick what we wanted. Well done.
I loved Pez! Such a fun piece that brought back some great memories!
I can relate to this poem 🥰
PEZ! I collected them for awhile; we still have a few! Great poem!
