The Land of Orange Bliss





We're riding in an orange boat

We're sailing the milky sea

The sun is orange in the sky

It's as bright as it can be

I am the captain of this ship

And you are my first mate

Look through my binoculars

Is that an island that awaits?

The sand is made of crispy rice

Orange lollipops line the beach

I see an orange jelly fish

It looks yummy and very sweet

Chocolate oranges on every tree

Orange flamingos and macaroons

I see an orange shortbread house

And angels with orange balloons

What is this magical place? I ask

This is a land of orange bliss!

But my thoughts are interrupted

As my mother gives me a kiss (yuck)

It's time for me to go to school

She hands me my old lunch pail
I hope it's....

Orange marmalade sandwiches

Baby carrots and an orange with a sail.
