Birthday Party
Turning four
is a boys’ delight
your friends come over,
and over cake you fight.
“That corner piece is mine!”
A child always shouts.
Over a quick wrestling match,
it is soon figured out.
But this year,
oh, the tables have turned
now you are five
and for the cotton candy sand you now yearn.
So many other colors,
and flavors of sand.
But always that one flavor
is in high demand.
Rock, paper, scissors
replaces the wrestling.
But in the commotion,
you seem to have missed something.
Mom won a whole box!
She was a true Candy Addict.
She knew the fun you would have
with that sand if you had it.
So why now
is the craft table barren?
You all look around,
and then you start staring.
The birthday boy’s sister,
April 8th, 2008 at 6:29 amso little and sweet.
Every drop of that sand
the dog helped her to eat.
There once was a girl we’ll call Sandy
April 8th, 2008 at 7:26 amWho liked to eat way to much candy
She ate and she ate
Locked jaws were her fate
So she now only eats Sandy Candy!
i’m not a poet
April 8th, 2008 at 11:03 amso here’s my awesome haiku
can i has sand plz?
Look – Sandy Candy
April 8th, 2008 at 11:21 amDelightful, artistic, sweet
Tubes of sugared joy
Sugar so delicious, tangy
April 8th, 2008 at 12:28 pmSweetly striped tubes of this goodness, oh joy!
Candy, oh how I long for candy
And this poem shall win it, yes that is my ploy
The candy will creep to my door unsuspecting
A present? For me? How sweet!
And I’ll snatch it right quick,
Ever so unrepenting
Only clear tubes of plastic will remain of my treat
Sandy Candy oh so pretty
Sandy Candy oh so sweet
Sandy Candy after dinner
Sandy Candy at the beach
Sandy Candy is for sharing
April 8th, 2008 at 1:06 pmSandy Candy is for all
Thanks to those for sweetness caring
Sandy Candy have a ball!
Sandy Candy, so fun to create
Sandy Candy, it’s so hard to wait
To taste each creation
So colorful and bright,
I can’t stop designing,
These patterns delight!
Sandy Candy, the flavors are fun,
From apple to cola
There’s even bubble gum.
It’s amusing to devise a pattern so clever
April 8th, 2008 at 1:06 pmThat I just won’t stop,
I’ll be up forever!
My poem is more free-form:
When I was four years old
I thought Lik-M-Aid was a drink mix
I wasted a whole pouch
pouring it into a glass of water
When I was nine years old
I snorted Pixy Stix powder
It was a huge mistake
and filled me with regret
Today I am older
Today I am wiser
If I had Sandy Candy
I would make a drink out of it and THEN snort it
Only kidding
I would eat it
after I play with it
April 8th, 2008 at 1:38 pmthose tubes look like fun.
Sandy Candy is a pretty little treat
April 8th, 2008 at 1:56 pmMy three-year-old would love to eat.
She’s turning four in a coupla’ weeks
And who wouldn’t want to put a smile on her cheeks.
Just send the candy and you’ll make
My redhead’s birthday party take the cake!
Sandy Candy is quite dandy,
At birthday parties it comes in handy.
Sweet or sour, berry or tart,
Combining the flavors is a lost art.
I how I love Sandy Candy flavors,
April 8th, 2008 at 3:11 pmTo taste, play, lick and savor.
I wish I could win this candy!
April 8th, 2008 at 3:46 pmMy sisters would think I’m quite dandy!
They would make me share,
But I wouldn’t really care.
And all of it would soon disappear!
Sugar slips slick through straws,
April 8th, 2008 at 4:02 pmSand in a plastic hourglass.
“Memento candi.”
Oh Sandy Candy, your sugary grit is like music in my mouth,
April 8th, 2008 at 6:33 pmYour tangyness fills me with longing,
Your variety is like an unsung song,
You, Sandy Candy, are the sweet melody missing from my life.
Sandy Candy!
Oh sweet and swirling sand,
This ode doth go to you,
A rainbow of amazing taste,
A memory anew.
That yummy, pouring river,
To share with friends for fun,
Or eat a little by yourself,
Because there’d be a ton!
So wow,
How sweet,
I’d like to eat,
A mega-pack of it,
Though most,
Of course,
Would go to friends,
Or my jeans would hardly fit!
Please give me the sandy candy! I only buy it once a year in a little store in California, and I didn’t even go to California last year, so I haven’t had ANY in nearly two years!!!!!
April 8th, 2008 at 7:35 pmOde to Sandy Candy
Oh sweet and sugary delight,
The melody of earth and life,
You give a beautiful respite,
To toils of days long.
But hark, there’s more,
This candy goes beyond just taste,
For art within the tube is made,
From flavors which are interlaced.
Sweet Lemonade and Blue Rasberry,
Bubble Gum, and wild cherry,
Orange Creme, and Lemon Lime,
Delicious flavors which might be mine!
So hear my plea,
And let me win,
You’ll cause,
A multitude of grins.
My friends and I,
April 8th, 2008 at 8:16 pmWould our thanks say,
For just one mega pack of sand,
For which we didn’t have to pay!
Sand
The sun settles down on my sallow face.
Surrounded by swarms of musclebound men
mustering machismo and attracting
any and all of the lovely ladies,
bedecked in their blonde hair and bikinis.
I–just I and the sand–watch wistfully
while waves and women pass by the wayside.
The seashore is not the place for someone
as simple and scrawny as I. Instead
it is a place for rippled romantics.
My fanny-pack overflows with treats
to curb my craving to flee to places
far-off, dark and dank and depressing. I
bury my bifocals in the latest,
lamest bestseller from the New York Times.
I head home hungry and beet-red from the
beating sun. Sand–sand everywhere–in shoes
and socks and shirts and slacks. I raid my room
for bottles of brilliant and glorious
granules of sweet, satisfying sugar.
The only sand deserving of my time.
April 8th, 2008 at 10:47 pmSugary Grains of colorful joy
April 9th, 2008 at 2:04 pmInto a tube, I start to employ
My beautiful art that I so admire
I have to admit, I hold for, desire.
Hypnotically staring, I shudder to think
What may happen next, as quick as a blink.
Before my own eyes, the sand disappears
To the top of my tongue, my art now adheres…
colorful striped tube
April 9th, 2008 at 5:18 pmmade with crafty precision
tastes sweet on my tongue
For all sizes to enjoy
For any girl or boy
Sandy Candy is a treat
For everyone to eat
Night and Day
It is a great way
To make everyone enjoys their stay
So, pickup Sandy Candy Today
- personally I like Aaron’s. Very nicely done…
April 10th, 2008 at 9:16 amEveryone is so cleaver. I have to think of better…
Jgarrett – I wonder if we are aloud to enter more then once, eep eep!
April 10th, 2008 at 9:52 amSandy Candy, Andy, and Me
What Sandy Candy comes, warned Andy, don’t parade about or bandy
with the beakers, or the jars
those seeking to take what is ours
will know our acquisition.
It’s not a problem, I told him
I’ve made us reservations
at an undisclosed location where we’ll stay with our provisions
A secret hideout just to sit around an play with candy?
I’ll have to think of some kind of excuse to tell my family…
Just tell them you’ll be visiting with old friends.
From, er…girl scout camp.
Oh, ok.
This is going to be so awesome.
I’m going to make mine completely red.
That’s boring. You’re supposed to use a bunch of different colors.
Polychrome is really 2006. Mine’s just going to be simple. Red. Bold.
Fine. The whole thing is gonna taste like cherry.
A classic design choice updated for the new millennium.
It’s 2008. The millennium is no longer the new millennium.
Can you think of a newer one?
No.
Hey, the candy’s here!
Yayyyyy! So long, suckers.
Hellooooooooo, Sandy Candy
(canned laughter)
April 10th, 2008 at 1:34 pmedible sand,
quite yummy, not bland!
twenty kinds in all,
fill up 6 inches tall
cherry to strawberry,
apples’ green to tangerine,
sandy candy,
oh so dandy,
you’ll have to try this,
it’s rainbow bliss!
-goodluck to all!-
April 11th, 2008 at 12:54 amSmall,tiny grains of colored bliss,
To you I owe my happiness,
An artful form, of sugar sweet,
A masterpiece I’d love to eat!
So Brian if you have a heart,
You’ll give me sand that’s sweet and tart,
To me, award a mega pack,
And fill the hole where candy lacks.
Ps. I think the people who put the same poem twice should have one of the doubles deleted!!
April 11th, 2008 at 4:47 pmsweet, scrumptious, messy,
April 12th, 2008 at 5:25 pmArt that brings back memories,
My tongue is happy!
Rainbow candy,
Yummy, sweet,
A superb delight,
For all to eat,
Nostalgia,
Art that speaks,
Of a bygone era,
Memories of taste,
Quite delicious,
April 12th, 2008 at 5:28 pmSand that is divine,
Now I’ve entered,
Hope the candy’s mine!
Sandy Candy
To tell you the truth, I’d never had such
April 12th, 2008 at 9:49 pmAs a whiff or a taste of this sandy candy “stuffâ€
So how did it feel, was it creepy or scary,
To eat sand that was flavored like grape, or black cherry?
Well it was quite an experience, I’m not gonna lie
Lemon lime was my favorite, though they’re all worth a try
Why, even cherry cola was good…to a limit
And if I had the chance, I’d try them all in a minute!
This candy was delicious! A worthy invention
And well worth the aftereffect of my sugar-high tension!
Sandy Candy
The boy was looking very mellow
All because he didn’t have a treat
But how about the awesome yellow,
Sandy Candy that everyone can eat!
The day was bright and the birds were singing
The boy was thinking, and also dreaming
About the competition of the Sandy Candy prize
The dream of having the sweet toothed surprise
His mouth was watering, over those amazing flavours
Black Cherry, Bubble Gum, Grape and Cherry Creme
All of the flavours running through his head,
But oh no, his mum said it was finally time for bed
The boy could not possibly sleep
He was not good at poems, this made him weep
But he was still going to try, just give it a shot
He could not let go of the oppurtunity he finally got
He stayed up all night, writing and thinking
He was tired, but managed to keep blinking
The boy finished the poem, and submitted it straight away
All he had to do now was wait for that day
He was nervous as ever, and had the shakes
He couldn’t do anything, just had to take a break
He couldn’t sleep, stayed up most of that night
In the morning the alarm clock woke him with a fright
Now he awaited, that instense day
April 13th, 2008 at 7:59 amThe day he would find out he had one the prize
He had to admit, it was the happiest surprise of his life.
Is it candy or is it art?
A question that is asked
Its not often they are combined
But sandy candy is divine!
So many colors
And so many flavors
This is a treat I’d love to try!
I hope at least before I die!
So I’ll make a rainbow
April 14th, 2008 at 9:01 pmCaptured in a tube
Perfect for sharing
For your friends who are caring!
SANDYS CANDIES
I have a sweet tooth
I cannot lie
I am a SANDYS CANDYS LOVER
until I die
they say Little girls are made of
SUGAR and Spice
I think it should be “sandy candy” instead
but their words must suffice
Oh the flavors that fill
the wonderful straw
I can’t decide on one
I guess I’ll have them ALL
Maybe I’ll mix them
making my own recipe
who knows I may get lucky
and have a delicacy!
I am wishing on my lucky star
and lucky charm
that I win this contest
I really mean no harm
Hmmmmm It seems I have gained
a pound or two or three or four
just looking at these sweets
I will have to share them to fit out of the door
OK OK I
April 17th, 2008 at 12:44 pmSandy Candy Castle
I’ll build a Sandy Candy castle,
Just the way I want.
A little purple here and there with a build-in restaurant,
that caters to the king and queen,
The flavors of their own,
So they can lick the castle walls
until they are all down.

April 18th, 2008 at 1:01 amIn my dreams crunch bars
were dirt lolli pops where the
flowers and m&ms were ants

leaves where chocolate chips and
licorice birds nests where emapty

stars were glowing in the sky.
Marshmallows fell like
snow falling.
The sun rose and it was a beautiful day.
Cotton candy were the clouds.
I walk on and I saw
graham cracker stepping stones.
Lifesaver flowers rose from the ground.
Long pretzels stood tall.
I started to eat.
I heard a sound.
It sounded like my mom.
I woke up, and said,
“I don’t want to get up. I’m still eating!”

May 3rd, 2008 at 1:43 pmWe searched the MILKY WAY to find the perfect birthday gift for you. We heard SNICKERS when we phoned the famous jewler, MR. GOODBAR of FIFTH AVENUE, New YORK for your gift because we didn’t have $100 GRAND to spend. He was a real LIFESAVER and sent a dazzling WHATCHAMACALLIT but we had BUTTERFINGERs and broke it. We were feeling an ecomomic CRUNCH and PAYDAY was weeks away, so we couldn’t afford to replace it. ZERO doesn’t buy much.
