Sweet theme 3. People have got stronger.

- People have got stronger, Luke.
Five years ago it took
Two people to carry 10
Pounds worth of grocery, and
Today a child can do it.
- Perhaps, it is right. If
A child gets at sweet stuff, 
He can take much enough.
- Grocery’s cheaper.
__________________- I may
Agree, but on his birthday
My son got 10 pounds, and
I was surprised a lot when
I saw all the sweets he had
Taken for 5.
____________- I see. That
Quantity was heavier
Than you could lift.
__________________- Hear! 
Hear! 
_______- You said, ‘5’.
_____________________- Yes, ‘5’, 
As 5 pounds were spent by
Him on chocolate and ice-cream
With, of course, some cups of tea
In the tea-room where he
Likes to spend time when he’s free.
Then he spent an hour
There.
________- As for our
Little child, he prefers spending
His money on fizzy drinks.
