Mr Cadbury and Miss Rowntree met on a double Decker, It was after eight.
She was from Quality Street; he was a fisherman’s friend. On the way, they
stopped at a yorkie bar, he had a rum and butter, she had a wine gum. He
asked her name,’ Polo, I’m the one with the hole’ she said. I’m the one
with the nuts,’ he thought! Then he touched her milky way.

They checked in, and went straight to the bedroom. Mr Cadbury turned out
the light for a bit of black magic. It wasn’t long before he slipped his
hand into her snickers and felt her cream egg. He fondled her flap jacks
then he showed her his curly wurly and tic tacs.

Miss Rowntree wasn’t keen to have any more jelly babies, So she let him
take a trip down Bourneville Boulevard . He was pleased as he always
fancied a bit of fudge.

It was a magic moment as she let out a scream of Turkish delight, When he
pulled out, his fun size mars bar felt a bit crunchy. She wanted more, he
needed time out, and however, he noticed her pink wafers looked very
appetizing. He did a twirl, had a picnic in her sherbet and finished of by
giving her a gob stopper!

Unfortunately, Mr Cadbury then had to go home to his wife, Caramel. Sadly
he was soon to discover he had VD. It turned out Miss Rowntree had been
with all sorts!!!!
