Analysis of Skittles



A rainbow set sail,
Small sugary sweets unveil.
An ocean of drool,
Wild for a taste like a dead body and a pennyless ghoul.

My first and only diabetic full love that I sneak and stow,
That's right it's skittles,
Taste the rainbow. :)

I hope my simile didn't cause any discomfort I meant it as only a comparison and humor.
