Fun-Sized

Small but perfectly formed,
like mini Battenbergs
or a finger of fudge.
Just enough to give your kids
- not anybody else's kids -
a treat. Or maybe diabetes.
How does Mr Cadbury know
your kids? And what quantity
of his delicious sweetmeat
constitutes a treat?

Diminutive but divine,
like a squadron of Ronnie Corbetts,*
flying in tight formation.
An aerial rumpus
in Lyle & Scott jumpers.

In Lilliputitgentlyontheground
(twinned with Much-Monkeying-Around),
Teenytiny Trevor
braves inclement weather,
as a shower of hundreds-and-thousands
threatens to turn into tic tacs.

Trevor puts on his hard hat.
