Houston, We Have A LollipopA Poem by Earl SchumackerCandy sweet cosmic treatHouston, We Have A Lollipop
Houston, we have a lollipop Peppermint Patty is outside the airlock The lemon drops are handy and dandy Secure as Loony tunes on the moon Tasty as caramel popcorn parties The Eagle has landed That's one small step for man And one giant leap for candy kind Be gentle to your rainbows and unicorns Kiss my wife and kids good-bye And billy goats too if you find them Kiss your jellybeans twice if they collide With cotton or chocolate meteorites Ground control we're stepping outside Tootsie rolls are calling us on To sweet flavored carpet ride smiles Colored in nature by bubble gum tides Floating on sugar coated cosmic waves Fluffy white bunnies circle in orbit In powdered sweet dreams of delight Be kind to your lambs if they land Happy happy joy joy, happy happy joy joy Please, pretty please send some happy baked cheesecake Whip up some hot fudge sundaes with a cherry on top Houston, we have a problem We need more lollipops soon or we will hold our breath Turn blueberry blue forever Or fall asleep, whichever comes first Depending on the weather © 2019 Earl Schumacker |
