Lollipop Day

Created by the National Confectioners Association
🍭

Welcome one and all, come gather ’round,
For a holiday of sweetness that is quite renowned,
It’s Lollipop Day, a day of candy delight,
Brought to us by the National Confectioners Association, it’s just right.

Now let me tell you a tale of lollipops so sweet,
A treat on a stick that’s hard to beat,
First made in the late 1700s, it’s true,
By an American named George Smith, a sweet pioneer, who knew?

The word lollipop comes from the English word “lolly”,
Meaning tongue, which makes sense, it’s not folly,
Because lollipops are made for sucking, you see,
And sticking to the tongue, they give us such glee.

So how are lollipops made, you may ask?
Well, it’s quite simple, just the sweetest task,
A mixture of sugar, corn syrup, and flavoring too,
Boiled to perfection, then cooled to make a goo.

The goo is then poured into molds of various shapes,
Round, square, or even heart, whatever it takes,
A stick is added, and then it’s left to set,
And voila, a lollipop is born, a treat you beget!

Now you may wonder, what makes a lollipop unique?
Well, it’s the stick, of course, that’s what you seek,
It makes it easier to enjoy, hands-free,
A sweet sensation, unlike any candy you’ll see.

So come on, grab a lollipop or two,
In strawberry, grape, or even blue,
Enjoy the sweetness, the stickiness, the fun,
On Lollipop Day, it’s a treat for everyone.

In conclusion, I hope you’ve enjoyed this rhyme,
And will celebrate Lollipop Day, it’s just sublime,
So go ahead, indulge in a sugary delight,
And have a happy Lollipop Day, oh what a sight!
