Lollipop Girls

Lollipop girls are posing on sticks
attracting attention
getting their kicks
high over the crowd.
Everyone licks
the lollipop girls.

Candy-cane fellow got hung in a case
trapped behind glass
hiding his face.
Don't like attention?
It's a disgrace
to the candy-cane race.

Bon-bon people are so good to look at
no good to eat
sugary-sweet
will rot out your teeth—
don't give it up
for a bon-bon treat.
