Peanut Brittle

Peanut Brittle

A comforting confection of nuts and sweetness

Bringing back memories of childhood a treat

And because your teeth might end up in a mess

Eating the crunchy loveliness was always a feat

But you still enjoyed the challenge nonetheless

The snap! when you bit into that crunchy sweet

A moment thinking do I have one tooth less?

But you keep on eating as it tastes so neat

I was quite addicted, I must confess.

Peanut Brittle Limerick

There was a young fellow from Writtle

With an unhealthy liking for brittle

It had nuts in profusion

Now that’s no illusion

For the lover of brittle from Writtle
