Candy-Coated Dreams
Spearmint grass and cotton candy trees
Banana palms and coconut breeze
Fiery cinnamonworks to glisten the skies
Apple turnovers and cherry-filled pies
Tiny teacup cookies with sugar plates
Sweet cranberry sauce and jellied dates
Chocolate clouds with a banana-split sun
Delicate roses taste like raspberry gum
Juicy sweet treats in a world of fun
Stretching as far and as wide as I can run
Hershey-kissed mountaintops with milk-dud dirt
Blistering vanilla-frosting fog dances by my skirt
Cherry-flavored rocks made from candy too
Every color of our rainbow --- purple, pink, and blue
White-chocolate doves fly hollow in the sky
More candy here than anyone can buy
