"If you are a dreamer, come in, if you are a dreamer, a wisher, a liar, a hope-er, a pray-er, a magic bean buyer..."

🍫💨🛸💃👦👧💃🛸💨🍫

In the quaint town of Oakenwood,
Lived a pair of cheeky kids, Carol and Charlie, good.
With smiles as sweet as candy corn,
And hearts as bright as the morning dawn.
One sunny day, with skies so blue,
They found themselves in quite the stew.
For a contest grew in their minds so vast,
To blow the biggest bubble that would ever last.

💨💃👨‍👧👨‍👦💨💃

"I bet my gum can go so high,"
Said Charlie with a mischievous eye.
"You think you can, oh really?" Carol jeered,
"Let's see what you can do with fear!"
They chewed and chewed without a pause,
Their bubbles grew, so did the applause.

🍬🍭💨💨🍭🍫💨

Round as planets in the summer sky,
Their bubbles grew, and oh so high.
With every blow, a new hue did shine,
A spectacle of bubble-gum design.
"What flavor is your gum?" they'd jest,
As their bubbles grew, they'd jest the best.

👋💨🛸👋

Suddenly, a pop and a whirl,
Their bubbles grew and didn't curl.
They were swept in a whimsical flight,
Into a land where everything's right.
"Welcome to Candyland," a voice so faint,
"Where sugar rivers flow, without a paint."

🍭🍫🏰🍭👑💃

"But how did we get here?" they both exclaimed,
A gumdrop guardian whispered the name.
"You're in a place where sugar never ends,
Where gobblers of gum are good friends."
A candy corn king with a licorice scepter,
Asked them to solve a sweet riddle better.

💃💨👑💨💃

"What am I," said a lollipop lass,
"So sweet and round, yet never in a class?"
Carol thought hard, her eyes so bright,
"You're a lollipop, oh what a sight!"
The lass just giggled, her stick did sway,
"You're on the right track, don't go astray."

💨👨‍👦👩‍👧💨

"But how do we get home?" they inquired,
"By bubble gum power," the king inspired.
"Eat as much as you can, so say we all,
Your journey home won't be a downfall."
And so, they munched, they chewed with glee,
On bubble gum trees, as happy as could be.

🍫🍬💨💨🍫🍬

Each piece they ate, made them grow,
Their cheeks so plump, their eyes did glow.
"How many more?" they'd ask with a yawn,
"As many as the stars, till you're not drawn."
The candy critters watched in amaze,
At the kids and their sugary daze.

🛸💨💃🛸💨💃

The bubbles grew, like a giant balloon,
They floated up to the candy moon.
With every bubble they'd let out a shout,
The candy folk knew what it was about.
The Jolly Rancher giant took a stand,
"I've got a riddle, if you understand."
