Sweets

Do you remember the characters
When we were young and mean
Who would roam the perimeter
As we watched our football team?
Not the two old men who trudged,
The board that timed the score
Nor old Captain Canary
Or his friend, the Dumpling Bor

The one that we mocked a lot
Was Mr Sweets, Drinks and Chocolate

‘Sweeets’ he would screech on the pitch upon high
Racing his cart before the missiles would fly
He was old, but he was rather dapper
As he swerved a chewed up Rolo wrapper
And he never grimaced once
As Wotsits hit his bonce

Where’s his picture in the Hall of Fame?
We all loved him when we went to the game
These people we shall never see again
Because this is now and that was then.
