A bouncy little rhyme about a boy with a sweet tooth, over almost as soon as it starts. The hop, hop, hop ending gives you somewhere fun to land.

From Mother Goose / Nursery Rhymes (traditional). See the whole collection.

Handy Pandy, Jack-a-dandy,
Loves plum cake and sugar candy.
He bought some at a grocer's shop,
And out he came, hop, hop, hop!
