Dolly Mixture
Bright pink
cylinders rub shoulders with chocolate shapes
Sugar coated jellies from the cellophane escapes.
Tiny hard rounded
gums that roll around the tongue
And chewy squares
of sugarpaste appeal to old and young.
Crispy
coating and squishy comfits with flavours subtle
All bagged
together in see-through plastic resembles builder’s rubble.
Pink and
yellow and red and brown and white
and some
that have shades of many we see
If Dolly Mixtures can happily sit side by side
Why can’t we?
