Slippery Slope: Funny Short Poem for Kids about Sweets and Candy (Pick and Mix)

Slippery Slope

Stealing a sweet from the Pick ‘n’ Mix 

is a slippery slope, Mum said 

Next, you’ll be robbing the NatWest bank 

as she marched me up early to bed 

You boy are grounded, for one whole week 

Just you wait ‘til I tell your father 

Dad though, returning from work just grinned 

as he took off his balaclava
