Candy Dish Pirates
The candy dish a hidden treasure,
round, clear crystal, it sits exposed,
the pirates seek it sweet pleasure
wanting the valuable contents enclosed,
They travel from abroad
In there ship they sail by the dozen,
as they reach there gold they applaud,
Its every man for his self they would sell out there only cousin,
The round clarion crystal shell is staggering in beauty,
hearts and lace wrap around making it's seemless impression
the lid on top is heaving enforcing it's duty,
and all who reach the inside must make a confession,
The rainbow of color it controls
yellow, green, pink and red,
completes the seekers ultimate goal,
as the delightful pleasure moves through them they are fed,
On to the next treasure they sail,
searching for more treasure wrapped beneath a crystal veil.
