Candy Twins
Short and sweet, Sour and tall
They stand with hair the color of fall
If you owe them money they’ll come for your knees
Cover you with honey and feed you to bees
I’ve seen them do horrible things to simple folk
Watched them pop people's dreams like an egg yolk
POP DROP SLOP
Is the noise you’ll make when they stab you with sharpened candy canes
The dookie twins are known around here
People never gossip in great fear
That they’ll be whipped with licorice
Until they’re screaming in gibberish
CRACK SLAP SNAP
They hit their victims mercilessly
Shoving gobstoppers down their throat
Throwing you into root beer float
I’ve seen them dunk a whole families in chocolate ooze
Feeding gummy bears to giants drunk on booze
They’ll Rob a train with tons of taffy
Melting it all to make them happy
BLAM BOOM BOW!
They run amuck without a sweat on their brow!
They steal whatever they want
And they’ll eat your candy just taunt
The graham cracker guards stay on watch
But the twins blend in like a splotch
Their next score is bigger than ever
600 pounds of fruit leather
What they will do with it I’ll never know
There is no purpose it’s all for show
Unpredictable they waltz through fields of candied corn
These Twins so evil they were not born
Simply pushed into existence and given a job
To hurt those around them, to beat and to rob
Always moving and causing havoc
No fear of pain, running straight into traffic
I’ll leave you with this ,a final warning,
That these twins are scarier than global warming
So if you see that shiny candy flag
Grab your things and pack your bags
Because when the infamous Candy Twins arrive
They won’t be ones to leave anyone alive
So RUN RUN RUN RUN
Because this way the Candy Twins will have more fun
And when they finally catch you, because they always do
They won’t be laughing anymore just… smiling
This piece is about twins in a world with large candy and strange creatures, these twins cause havoc and chaos for those who encounter them.
