Delightful.

Just thinking years back, I became again mindful,
of the sweets made quite near, that were delightful.
In the quiet road named Kemble Road that lead,
away from the busy main road called Stanstead,

Hidden away, back between the private houses,
the smell sweet sugar boiling, our pallet arouses.
Flavoured Lemon or Rose that tickles the nose.
your favourite flavour is the one that you chose.

Memory bring back those far back distant things,
today it brought me back to the times of "Lings".
Has this jogged memory? I thought that it might,
yes this is where they made the Turkish Delight.

There was a selection of sweets that were here,
too many of these and for your figure you fear.
Then should I pick a slab of that Peanut Brittle.
"Yes I will", look at this one its only so little.

So much to choose from it all looked so nice.
perhaps then, lets have a slab of Coconut Ice.
Just the one more choice for me before I forget,
I just could not leave without a Peanut Nugget.
