Box Canyon Candy Land
Box canyon candy land, scrawled upon its walls,
The first children's book-illustrated by the ancients~
Glazed by queen frosting and a gingerbread man.
A jolly blind man with a gumdrop candlestick.
Tried to read it but forever scorched its meaning~
Ghost Dancers echoing through minted halls.
Bawling "lord licorice is coming with bushels
of thunder sticks and buckets of black rain.
Quickly clamor out or forever be washed away!"
