Cockaigne--Taste Like Diabetes

Man, I think I'm going all Dr. Seuss here. So if you guys want something sweet, here's this story. Enjoy! --KatDon 

Have you ever heard of the place called Cockaigne? In Latin, it means 'Land of Cuckoo-Land'. Cockaigne is a place where you can relax and it's a place of pleasure. There's the Big Rock Candy Mountain, there's Lubberland, and the gingerbread houses a plenty. The Empress of Ice Cream Oceans resides there, letting all children come and eat. Princess Sticky Pop has a variety of lollipops to lick at, come and have a piece of the rainbow. Gumby is the Duke of Gumdrops while residing in the Gumdrop Hills. Mr. Cane has a lot of peppermint sticks reside in the woods, Nana Brittle has peanut brittle just for you. Won't you take a piece? Pruno the Troll has a lot of plum shrubs for you to take home. Marquis Sweet Root's got a whole bunch of licorice, have a couple--He has lots! Don't you want to have Treacle's Molasses? Just pay 25 cents a cup. Isn't Cockayne so good? But wait, here comes Emperor Confectionery; the ruler of all Cockaigne! Come by here anytime but be careful, this place will make you taste candy like diabetes!
