Last week, Licensing and Consumer Affairs put out a press release reminding the public about licensing requirements, but they could have sent a Valentine:
Roses are red,
So it is writ;
If you start a small business,

And chocolate is sweet
But you need a license
To sell on the street.
Thinking of retail,

Remember a license
Costs less than a fine.
