Cherry Top, Lemon Pop

cherry top, lemon pop
what a fizz
oh gee whiz

so delicious
not nutritious
oh but please

cherry cheese
pastry's best
in the West

marshmallow cream
doesn't it seem
candy canes

down the drain
your last cent
where it went

just a kid
lift the lid
take the cake

mischief make
every time
this skipping rhyme

brownie or fudge
dont you judge
God made sweets

and all treats
for us here
do not fear

heaven holds
much more than those.
just be merry

scoop the berries
orange tarts
will make you smart

sugar plum
and butter rum
now I'm done.
yum yum yum.
