Savoring Sweet Slippery Sweetmeats...

(Wondrously waiting, wanting a treat)

SAVORING SWEET SLIPPERY SWEETMEATS

Apples apply aptly, I've heard it said.

Beggars beg best when they beg for bread.

Caramel cotton candy certainly can't compete.

Dashing dazzling diners dash amidst retreat.

Every evening eventually comes.

Frankly, fresh fritters fry best in the sun!

Great gooey gobs, gobbled up fast.

Happy, hurried hostesses hustle on past!

Instantly imagining impressionable imps,

Jesting, joking, just jumping like chimps!

Kneeling, kissing, kicking and such...

Laughingly, lovingly, longing to touch.

Merrily marveling, mostly milling about

Naughtily nipping, nearly nodding, they shout.

Openly obvious and often ornate,

Petulantly?  Positively!  Persistently, they wait!

Quaintly, quietly, quickly, they stall...

Rambunctiously raging, ravenous and all!

Savory sweet syrup silently sticks to me now

Teasingly tasty, tormenting me and how! 

Utterly useless, unless you like twilight...

Very vain vixens seldom come out at night!

Where, why, when, what - they all seem to say...

Xylophones?  X-rays?  What nonsense today!

Yammering, yelling Yippee! and Yikes! 

Zestfully zany zipping...like children on bikes!

 

Absolutely Another Sweet Sugar's Riotous Rush...

Wonderful!!! Just what the contest ordered, and nicely descriptive. BRAVO!!! And you even made it rhyme....
:) These struck my funny bone to the tee:
"Merrily marveling, mostly milling about

Wow another A-Z and well done. Good subject matter (lol), great flow and your imagery can't be beat. A sweet tooth huh, hmmmmm, I think I'd just give up and eat some M&M's, it would be much easier. LOL good job and as usual a great talented write. ;)

ALLITERATION! lol i couldn't even come up with this. Trying to say it outloud is like saying a group of tounge twisters back to back. It's fun to read.

[Silent Kim aka mizmetap..]

Well crafted, entertaining. The vision that comes to mind is an old fair, where all these treats can satisfy the cravings. Charming write.

A riot of alliteration which suits my taste
