The 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
