Candy Mountain
One of my favorite things to do, at least once a year in my dreams, is sojourn at the base of Candy Mountain with my friend “Charlie the Unicorn”. Although the path to get there is quite far and I often find myself trudging across the magical bridge, it is well worth the trip. As soon as I can view its sweet deliciousness I pay homage by sacrificing a candy cane. I then prostrate myself before the giant fountain of chocolate. If I am not too full after drinking from in the stream I climb to the gumdrop top and let out a resounding yelp of joy! Candy Mountain! Candy Mountain!
