Juicy

Soft

Sickly

Tarty

Turn my head always, trying to find which bit smells the nicest. Juicy, red, scrunchy face, but a bad smell spoils the overall experience. Free, food fights, adventure, sunshine. I turn to the old lady and wonder if the smell is coming from her clothes. Slurping.

Potions

Slurping sunshine, scrunchy face. I turn to the old lady and wonder, red juicy friend, if the smell is coming from her clothes. Summer, garden-hopping. Walking, turn my head always, trying to find which bit smells the nicest.

Aniseed

Free food fights, adventure. I ask for a sweet on the far side of the room, the furthest from the door. Sunshine slurping, walking, friends. Summer garden-hopping. The mouse says: "You had a lucky escape, sunshine." For the old lady turned him into a mouse when he went into the house.
