Here's an original I just came up with. Enjoy




You pay to get rid of me, yet I'm not free



I move on a wheel, yet a wheel moves in me



I'm not a good pet, yet you have me at home



Chop off my tail and I'm free to roam




What am I?




riddle rhyme

Confectionery

Prepared foods made with a lot of sugar or other cabohydrates "Sweetmeat" redirects here. For the racehorse, see Sweetmeat (horse). Not to be confused with Sweetbread. This Kransekake is a traditional Scandinavian baker's confection. Confectionery is the art of making confections , which are food items that are rich in sugar and carbohydrates. Exact definitions are difficult. [1] In general, though, confectionery is divided into two broad and somewhat overlapping categories, bakers' confections and sugar confections.
