Written for Esther’s Laughing Along
With A Limerick #261. The prompt
word is ‘candy’. This is my limerick.
There once was a holiday dandy,
Whose pockets were stuffed full of candy.
He danced through the night
Dressed in tinsel so bright,
Keeping all of his sweets very handy!

I always heard that Sammy Davis Jr. hated that song…

That may be true, I don’t know, but I’m sure he liked the fact that it was his first #1 hit song.
