Oh, now you see I had the same experience. My Dad would eat the snickers and I loved the licorice, particularly BLACK! my favourite. I just love your stories, are you going to publish your poems, they would be enjoyed by all. Lee

All of the black licorice was mine and my brothers were happy to be rid of it. Tony
