BY AMERICAN PRESS ASSOCIATION When Charley rode to Candy Town Astride a Teddy bear, He looked in wonder up and down With many a hungry stare, For all the streets were named for sweets, And, oh, so many there ! L CUMDROPROSW ") J T TO C AW PV TOWN j '''J They entered town by Gumdrop road, Where all the candy shops Were stuffed as full as any toad With most delicious drops. As Charley glanced he almost danced, While Teddy licked his chops. They turned a corner, when, in view, Before their very eyes, Came Chocolate Bonbon avenue, Which filled them with surprise, For every shop was a chocolate drop Of most amazing size. But on they went with even jog, Since shops are not to eat, And soon they passed, with eyes agog, Through Peanut Brittle street, And every brick was a peanut stick And doubtless very sweet ! But Teddy trotted right ahead Through Candy Kisses way, Though Charley pulled his ears and said: "Hold on a minute stay ! Lemme get down an eat this town. I'll finish up today!" That Teddy bear plugged straight along Until he chanced to see, Surrounded by a merry throng, A great big Christrras tree. "Now I can climb and have a time," Says Ted. "Hooray for me!" As Teddy started climbing up His passenger slid down And struck the bedroom floor kerplup, And m his nightie sown ! Now, wasn't that a sorry bat To get in Candy Town ? But, after all, the town was thert. When Charley oped his eyes, High up the tree was Teddy bear, Of real riding size, And candy sweets from all the streets r nnstmas paradise! UNCLAIMED LETTERS.
