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
