Once there was a chocolate bar

Whose name was Fry's Five Centres,

Did not the Famous Five eat them

Whilst on their fine adventures?

The chocolate came in milk and plain

The filling rich and fruity,

To have a store of them was like

A treasure trove of booty.

You can keep your Nestle Dairy Crunch,

And keep your Mars and Snickers,

I'd choose a batch of Fry's Five Centres

To stash inside my knickers.

Very good oldspice. Did you write it yourself?

oldspice · « **Reply #2 on:** August 29, 2006, 09:00:47 pm »

Of course!

I think it is brilliant.

Thanks. It's supposed to cheer people up and make them laugh.

Where she stashed the Five Centres

soon left Oldspice in a quandary

she suddenly discovered she had SIX Centres

cos she hadn't done the laundry!

Sorry Oldspice, I couldn't help myself as usual.

I did like your poem.

The Ballad of Bars Long Gone

The Golden Cup it is no more

You can’t get Cabanas like before

Mavericks once ruled the roost

But now they’ve joined the Coconut Boost

In the land of chocs no longer made

Will our yearning ever fade

For Wispas Gold and Mint and Bite?

Why ditch them but not the Flyte?

Fry’s Five Boys and Centres are gone

Looking for Liaison? Sorry, there’s none

Aztecs you can no longer buy

Or Pyramints either – why oh why?

Milk Tray bars are gone, which makes us sad

And Amazin’ Raisins, it’s too bad

Top Deck is gone, and Tiffin too

Bitz and Bar Six, both are through

We miss these bars; let’s get them back

And give the sods who dropped them the sack!

Brilliant Smurfy.

These definitely made me smile

Only just noticed this thread - great stuff! What a clever lot of people we have on here.

Ok this one is a bit crap, maybe someone else can add a few verses onto it:

Oldspice hates Nestle, she does indeed
she says "Kitkat is sh**e, and Lion tastes of wee"
You won't see a Yorkie in her bag, or even Toffee Crisp
she think it all tastes like s**t

She might have a flutter on Quality Street, or even mint Aero
But Caramac? She'd never sink that low!
"In my day it tasted wonderful!", she cries
When she thinks of what we've lost, her heart slowly dies..
