I'm trying to find out when he wrote this? Just a decade would be helpful! Thank you to anyone who replies.
He didn't write it at all. See John Gator's comment from 18 November 2011.
I love this poem! It sounds so sweet, and makes me want to eat candy. Although it sounds amazing, it does not sound like a poem by Roald Dahl. I was expecting some made-up words, or something funny, but this poem does not have that. Great poem, but does not fit Roald Dahl.
This poem is in fact the lyrics to the song " Candy Man" which was featured in Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, but it was not written by Roald Dahl. The lyrics were written by Anthony Newley.
This is a really good poem and i think that roald dahl has worked very hard to achieve this level. i absolutely loved it and i am at a loss for words as it is so good.
This isn't a Roald Dahl poem, see excerpt from Wikipedia. 'The Candy Man' (or alternately, 'The Candy Man Can') is a song from the 1971 film Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory. It was written by Leslie Bricusse and Anthony Newley specifically for the film and does not appear in the original book or the 2005 film adaptation of Roald Dahl's Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
A beautiful creation
