SweetTown Yum (poem)


I wish there was a place far away, called 'SweetTown Yum',
Where things were made of food and sweets
Mountains of ice cream and treacle pudding huts,
A place where everyone feasts and eats!

The Sweetins (the residents) won't get fat, 
Because the place is absolutely magic!
In shops, to buy things, they'll use Sweetuts (their currency),
And in SweetTown Yum, nothing will ever be tragic!

Their king, Mr. Kit Kat and queen Lady Apple Pie,
Would rule the town like a kingdom.
Just without punishments, or scoldings.
And would hold competitions, like 'chew for 1 hour gum!'

The plants would be coconut bushes and candy flowers,
The animals Chocolate Bears and Gummy Birds.
The houses made of waffles and pizzas,
And the streams of soupy noodles where Sweetins come to drink in a herd!

This land, SweetTown Yum, is imaginary,
But I wish, oh I wish, it was real!
This town, made of all things nice and tasty,
Is like living in a dream so beautiful and surreal!

What peace means to me

What peace means to me - Is a world with smiles and glee! No wars or terrorist attacks, Or stolen goods in sacks. Friends...
