The Inner Child

I'll take powdered cookies please
Puffs of pastries strung and stiff
Clouds of candied sugared stuff
Whiffs of jellied, minty jewels
I'll take cakes up to the sky
Purpled violet cream delights
Spongy chocolate miracles
Burnt with fire marshmallows
I'll take cheesecake berry pie
Juicy dripping chins and such
Whipped up topping, snappy white
Raspberry finger hats and smile
I'll take licorice marbles please
Swirled to glass and rocked candy
Let me ride my sugar high
and say hello to my inner child...
