THE CANDY SHOP

Two doors down would you believe
A new merchant has moved in?
Making troves of candy
Like I had when I was ten.

Thankfully not open
All seven days a week
Wednesday straight thru Sunday
That’s enough, enough for me.

All the old time favorites
Licorice and malt balls, too
Chocolate covered raisins
Half a pound of those will do.

All hand made chocolate candies
Creams and jellies, and guess what
Coconut and peanuts
Don’t forget the chocolate fudge.

To say that I am happy
Would not quite suffice
Did I tell you they have gumdrops 
With both cinnamon and spice? 

A dream come true, there it is
In the middle of my block
Just a few doors down from me
A sweet new candy shop!
