SHARING COTTON CANDY

  

  

Sharing cotton candy,

Oh! It’s a big No! No, Granny.

It's mine, fully mine and it's quite fine.

Darling dear, Sandy! sharing cotton candy

is a joy; you smear color on the other’s face.

Pink glow will lighten your heart,

along with pink gloss on your

tongue, teeth, hands, and cheek,

will be dual, dear Sandy,

sharing cotton candy is fun, dear.

Oh! It’s a big No! No! Granny,

The threads of cotton candy -

a bunch of love I hold.

It’s not just a dessert, Granny,

it’s a fairy floss – my heart lies in it.

Fairy floss or candy floss,

flow of love will fetch you many fairies.

One day she will bring you

your fairy floss

with a surprising feel.

Darling,  Dear! Sharing cotton candy

is sharing love, joy, and fun with

taste of sugar, in the color of pink

for a life of love

Sharing cotton candy!

Oh! It seems like a love for love

Sharing fairy floss, I feel like a

fairy in the hope of another fairy

 Sharing cotton candy!

I do Granny, for you, my old fairy.
