CDXLVIII - Sticky Buns


Magpie Tales had the above photo as a prompt.


Sticky Buns

“Come on” he said and took her hand
“I’ll show you a sweet place,
Where spiders spin their webs from gold
And dreams are spun from lace.
It’s true!  I wouldn’t lie to you!
Behold the fabled wishing tree!
And, when we’re safe back from that land,
There’s sticky buns for tea!

    In the world we live in today, one might suspect this to be a line to lure someone. But I think I would rather enjoy in innocence at face value, and say what a lovely thought you have penned!

      I'm shocked! Well, not really. I did briefly ponder that but optened to go with the clean and pure line.

    This brings to mind, painfully, how such innocence is lost...

    I loved this reminder of a world, we have to bring back desperately.

    With lashings of butter and jam-very Enid Blyton!
    And very lovely, the imagination of children.

      I'd clot some cream, if you asked.

      Thanks, but I'll take the supermarket variety :)

      Pffft! Cheeky possum! No, clotted properly, the way my Granny taught me. Once eaten, never forgotten.

    Little Aussie boys don't talk like that... more like Christopher Robin or Teatime at Tweedledee Terrace with Paddington Bear:) Charming poem though. I'm popping round for pink iced sticky buns with lashings of butter (no jam) and tea
    (twinings english breakfast)

      Sorry about that. But, then, over time, a lot of people have said I am more English than Australian. The bodies have never been found.
