Ye Olde Sweet Shoppe

Let's take a journey back in time to the 1900's
when children would delight in regular visits to
their sweet shop in England, they had a large
range of lollies and their eyes would all light up
at the sight of these delectable treats, they had
many different favourites like licorice and sherbet
that would melt in their mouth, mint rock, barley
sugar sticks, lollipops, humbugs, gobstoppers as
well as the famous hand made chocolates and
toffees and many more delicacies, the children
would drive their parents crazy until they got
their bag of sweets, in the end the parents had
to give in to their whims and they also bought
some for themselves to eat while relaxing at home.
We go back to the present and sweets are still on
display at the local supermarket, the nostalgia
has been replaced by commercial trading, turning
over huge profits for corporate business giants.
The good old days will never return as this is the
modern world of today's money hungry executives.

Danesh you may be right we revolve around similar circles, we both thing outside the circle and follow similar paths. I had someone give me a poke yesterday on City of Ice, I told him how I felt about him, there are always critics even in poetry, oh well we can't please them all can we. I guess he is not one of my fans, so I won't bother about him and keep on posting my stuff. professor cool yay
