Walking by a
candy shop,
The sight of gumdrops made me stop,
And with a penny in my hand,
I entered into Candyland.
The smell
of chocolate was distinct,
And then a sight caused me to blink,
As if in answer to my prayers,
I saw a million chocolate bears.
Some were
dark and some were light,
And some were very, very white,
Some were standing six feet tall,
And some were very, very small.
Some were
wide and some were thin,
Some wore frowns and some wore grins,
Some were round and some were flat,
Some wore shoes and some wore hats.
I was
rather mystified,
I could not quite believe my eyes,
But when they all began to dance,
I walked right in and took a chance.
I danced
with one and then with two,
Then three with hats and one with shoes,
I was the belle of Candyland,
My life was chocolaty and grand.
But
visions faded into night,
When I awoke and saw my plight,
My chocolate vision was a dream,
So I got up and had ice-cream.
