OLD-FASHIONED SWEETS

OLD-FASHIONED SWEETS

For Jean

Those huge glass jars
Contained Technicolour Treasure!

A few pence per quarter?
Expensive!

We carefully watched the measure.

How lovely to see
Old-fashioned sweets.

So reminiscent of yesteryear.

Evoking memories of childhood days.

Though seen, no doubt,
Through a rose-tinted haze!
