Candy Cane Warriors - Terry McDermott

Terry McDermott

Peppermints
Given by a wizard
With advice
And Fortune
To a handsome young farmer
That would change his life

In the hills
He planted ten rows
No water
Was needed
Mighty men quickly sprouted
Candy Cane Warriors

They all bowed
To the young farmer
And hailed him
As the one
Giving him a candy crown
The Peppermint King

Marching forth
They entered the town
Fighting with
Might and skill
But they went down in defeat
The kids ate them up

All was lost
And just remember
If you wish
To be king
Don’t go fighting with candy
You will be dessert
