I am five again, running down the street of candies
Every tree with fruity sweets
The wafered houses are coated with chocolate
The jelly grasses are of myriad colors
An old man works ahead with a candy shovel
Digging for a treasure of gummy bears
Even His tooth is gone
Empty with sores of decay
He took my hand to place a curse
Murmuring words from unknown fragments
Woof! Woof!
There comes Randy,
My dog in shining fur
Bite his legs in ardent valor
Then the man fell in abject horror
Into the hole, he had dug
Closed up it did,
As my dog zoomed off
I looked up
Alas! It is raining gummy bears
Hurray!
I appreciated the playfulness of this poem and wish now there were such a season to relive my childhood!! 🙂
Me too…Hence the poem
