Sugar Dumpling

Skippity skipity dah de doo! She leaves a trail of caramel from her spongy, cakey shoes. At night, she sprinkles sugar powder on children's tongues while they sleep. She goes by the name of Sugar Dumpling. The fairy takes care of those who weep, especially from a frightful nightmare. Unlike other magical creatures, she allows herself to be seen. Only, she erases their memories later. Sugar Dumpling cheers up children with her rare stunning powers. She's able to shoot pop rocks in mid air, a burst of colors spewing everywhere! Pillows turn into soft, sweet marshmallows! Lamps become giant, yummy lollipops! Water fountains transform into chocolate rivers! Oh wonders of a sugar-coated cheery genius, allowing children to dream with sweetness. Little ones smile, flooded with joy! Candy, cupcakes, cans of pudding slide down their throats, filling stomachs! so know that Sugar Dumpling is coming if you hear: Skippity skipity dah de doo!
