Under the Yum Yum Tree

under the yum yum tree with bubble gum leaves hanging from the banana limb swaying to and fro against the wind laughing and giggling with your ten toes wiggling and the lemon sun shines just for fun lick a strip of peppermint bark if your tummy ever smarts from eating candy treats bequeath by the tree so sweet under the yum yum tree napping on lime grass velvety waking to sip from her honey dew dips so fruity that the colors stain your lips smiles are big the games are fun there's always enough for everyone under the yum yum tree a place for the young to be for if inside you are old and sour you'll never see her flower a child's innocence is all you need to play under the yum yum tree.

Thank you-you've made my day. I try to write a little happy because sad comes so easy.
