Ashton's Flight

pink lollipop on yellow cotton candy tree
marshmallows in meadows hold up me;
i sail on peppermint wings... amongst...

around these beautiful things

i have no cat that plays no fiddle
no dish running away with a spoon
but evening finds me decked out in splendor

as I fly by that cow jumping over the moon

my wings flash silvery in the moon's glow
a mighty sight to people below
they hold their breath and sigh,

 how   d o e s   she fly so slow!!!

now everyone knows I am landing and dread it
woe and woe is me...
my head is thumping, my heart is jumping 

oh Lord, How I hate reali -Tee, ---Hee Hee Hee

This is excellent! I like the internal rhyming pattern and the flow of the words. It reminds me of my childhood bed night stories. Great job! ~Joseph
