Go...Get Some Lollipops!!

Treat your self to a lollipop
wake up the kid in you with joy
lick it, roll it, feel it melt
reminisce the good taste it left
sweet, isn't it, even now?..
 

Do you remember
their soft centres and dry fruits
caramel that tasted so good
it may not have lasted too long
like good things, in life..
 


It costs very little, to light up a life
worth a million, is a smile
for sweet things to happen your way
you got to give, yourself a break
So, Go, get some lollipops
before the shop closes down...
