The Scottish Sweetie

The Scottish Sweetie

I got a treat the other day.
It was Sent to my door 1st Class.
So I opened it up,
And to my delight
It was a present from my folks.


I got a thrill when I looked inside,
It was a tartan gift box which read:
Scottish Butter Tablet,
My ever favourite sweetie,
It was a reminder of my home.

I got an urge to open the box
It was easier than I thought
Holding on to one of the bars
I opened it up in seconds
It was a dream to inhale its sweet buttery scent.

I'm eating the bar of tablet now,
I really couldn't wait!
That sweet and gritty taste of Scotland
Bringing back lots of memories
It was delicious, but alas all done!


Oh wait, there's more...
All my favourite Scottish Sweeties!
Edinburgh Rock, Macaroon,
Highland Toffee and Saltire Rock
This is such a brilliant present
Mum, dad... I love you, this is great!
