After bathing in bubble gum,
Mary Jane unties ribbon candy
from bags of chocolate kisses.
Sky colored by yellow, pink
& blue cotton candy clouds.
Marshmallow chicks hide
behind spearmint leaves.
Jelly beans sprout along
fields of candy corn.
Caramel apples, lemon drops,
orange slices stacked for sale
at Lolly Pop’s juicy fruit shop.
Watch out as sour gummy
worms wiggle underfoot.
Climbing big rock candy mountain
wandering with sugar high stars.
Thirsty now, Mary Jane sips
root beer barrels at Snickers Bar.
Black licorice fills this night
with confectionary dreams
& one big banana moon pie.
