Butterscotch



I remember the bowl that sat by the chair, 
an abundance of candy meant to be shared,
Reeses that melt in your mouth,
Hershey's chocolates begging to be eaten,
but if you see the amber wrapper beware,
butterscotch candy is found in there,
grandmother said they taste of gold and honeycombs,
maybe she is right but I'd rather steer clear.

  1. This made me laugh! Old people do seem to love their hard candy and especially Butterscotch! This makes me think of a line in the preview of that Dirty Grandpa movie coming out where the young girl tells Robert Deniro she knew he was old when she found a Werther's Original in his pants pocket. : )
