Array ( [sid] => 58747 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => The Land of Sweet Retreat* [time] => 2004-08-03 18:07:36 [hometext] => My idea of a perfect getaway...Glo! [bodytext] => There's this Little Town I know of,
Just across the Sea...
I don't tell many people about it
So let's keep it between you and me.
Hush now...listen real close
To what I'm about to say...
I'm sure you too will want to stay.

A place where you can breath in Peppermint Air,
Run and play all day without a care
Tall Chocolate Mountains there to climb,
With Almonds all around...
Giant Caramel Clocks keeping time,
While making the sweetest sounds.
Marshmallow Snow Peaks way up high...
Almost touching Cotton Candy Clouds up in the Sky.

You're welcome to pick from the Jelly Bean Tree,
Different flavors as far as the eyes can see,
It's bark is made of Toffee Crunch,
Don't eat to much...it may spoil your lunch.

Where a Giant Lemon Drop is the Sun,
Everyone here has so much fun.
Such a perfect day I shouted...
Let's go take a swim in Lollipop Lake.
Bordered with Skittles and M & M's,
Sampling a few as we began to swim.

This Lake is swimming with Swedish Fish,
A rainbow of colors...catch one and make a wish.
We were all enjoying our Sweet Retreat,
When I faintly heard someone call...
Time to wake up sleepy head,
My Mom said lots of things to do today...
Don't forget to make your bed.


May you have...Sweet Dreams!

The Land of Sweet Retreat*

There's this Little Town I know of,
Just across the Sea...
I don't tell many people about it
So let's keep it between you and me.
Hush now...listen real close

A place where you can breath in Peppermint Air,
Run and play all day without a care
Tall Chocolate Mountains there to climb,
With Almonds all around...

Almost touching Cotton Candy Clouds up in the Sky.
