Toasted Marshmallow
I Don't want to sound shallow,
but toasted marshmallow,
never served up a treat.
Instead of delight,
you just get a fright,
as it drips down onto your feet.
We live and we learn,
It's going to burn,
And it's too thick and too sweet!

The Curious Elf is sat on the shelf
pushing its famous 'Snake Oil'.
The Cancer Food Mage is cooking with Sage,
And wrapping it in tin foil.
Combining the two,
He'll cure you,
just as easy as pie.
It's really quite cheap,
So just take the leap
With a good swig for your pain.
No need to be told
'Low and behold'
The Elf is triumphant again.

Things to be grateful for...
"The sun"
It warms your soul,
not sure if that's its goal?
The smile on a happy face,
It defines the human race.
A tear balanced upon my cheek, feels like it’s been there for a week.
A flower fresh in bloom, it will wither far too soon.
Nothing ever lasts for long, thankfully not even this song.
