Delicious were my childhood days Where lemon sunshine hid its rays Behind the marshmallow clouds on high That float so gentle on blueberry skies On banks of honey rivers Id sit and play Watching the green spearmint grass sway Along with the wind scented thick with strawberries That echoed the laughs of gum drop fairies Id often pick the buttercups,so soft and sweet Afraid that their petals might melt in the heat ForI cherished every delicacy in this enchanted land WhileI danced with the piper and the gingerbread man Its been many years since Ive taken a taste Of the bounties of treats in this candied place But as long as i live, the child in my memory Will forever frolic in her lollipop fantasy.

Hey...poutprincess....this starts off almost like a Joni Mitchell lyric You had this desire and gift to write even as a child if that is the way you remember the things from your childhood. It's there and it ain't gonna go away sweetheart......so you might as well keep em coming cause you're going to anyway....... take care...........ethome..... |
