The Candy Case The taste of chocolate on my tongue, Reminds me of when I was young And grandpa used to take me to The village store, so I could view The wonderful assortment there Of merchandise and clothes to wear. The candy case just made me pine For chocolate sweets, that were all mine. Now grandpa carried, everywhere, A dark brown bar, he'd often share With other men, but never me! There was no reason I could see I shouldn't have a little bite. Such selfishness did not seem right! Although I asked him and said "please", He only laughed and slapped his knees! Then one day, I had a surprise. He handed me, with twinkling eyes, His chocolate bar, oh, lucky me! I'd no idea it would be So strong and hot and bitter too. It wasn't candy, it was "chew"!

I liked this a lot. My daddy used to chew Sparkplug until he changed over to Beechnut. He never offered me a bite but I remember taking a nibble one time. Didn't do it again. Love, Joyce |

Dear Marge: I must confess I am a chocoholic all the way through! Has to be sugar-free now, but I still eat it once in awhile, when the craving gets to me. Thanks! Love Betty Lou Betty Lou Hebert |
