Candylion

A long time ago,
In the Kingdom of Candy,
A lion once roamed the streets,
And kept time.
Howled on the hour,
Whined on the minute,
Roared every second,
Day of the year.
Candylion
Dreams can come true,
Nightmares can also,
Opposites push and pull to the fore.
Morph into flowers,
Or a frozen winter,
Wer're flying in love,
Or falling in hate
Candylion
Candy
A penguin and carnation
Lion
A lemon and Dalmation
Candy
And 'though I look for inspiration
Lion
Still my favorite combinations'
Candylion
