Innocent Bliss

Gummy bears!
Lollipops!
How yummy…

Can’t stop, won’t drop,
Eyes pop…

Candy shoppe!
We must go,
Me and Joe…

Chica -- Chico,
Best buds


Let’s divvy
Up this grub,
One for each…

Yum, yum
Tasty dum-dums…

Come on chum,
You want some
Bubble gum?

Have some Dante ~
Okay…

We are all done
Now, let’s run and
Have some fun



The Yenga is a nine-verse poem with no set rhyme scheme or meter, and is not syllabic. 
However, its theme must 'capture the innocence of childhood'. It can be written as a solo or 
with partners. The verse structure is as follows.... 3-3-3, 2-2-2, 3-3-3. 
These numbers refer to lines in each verse.. Not syllables.
