SWEETS – DELICIOUS MEDICINE

Oh the Joy out of All to eat One single Sweet;
But when All is just Sweets; what a Wonderful Treat!
And I play here right now in a World just for me,
As a Queen of these Sweets that are All I can see!

Nibble, dribble, bibble, Pop.
Biscuits, Donuts, Cherries on Top.

The Land is fresh Cake.  The River's Black Tea!
Vanilla and Chocolate. Strawberries and Cream.
What's that Mommy?  Would you like some more Tea?
We'll savor the flavors in our mouths abeam.  

Smuffle, puffle, fluffle, fuff!
Ice cream, Pudding, Strudel and Fluff!

Cookies, Candies, Crackers and more;
Gumballs, Gumdrops, Gelatin galore.
Bring me some Cake and wonderful Charlotte.
Bring me some Cake and Strawberries scarlet.

Grumble, rumble, brumble, bliss!
Something is wrong, something amiss.

Canes and candles ahigh for this fabulous feast,
I can't help but know what is last but not least.
Now my Tummy is grumbly for that which I want,
the one Taste to beat Cake, Macaron and Croissant.

The Cheese!  
The Cheese!  
Oh Joy to Cheese!
What a wonderful treat that I know will appease!

Pyotr-chan, find some Cheese!  
Find the Cheese, please oh please.

I want Cheese
I only want Cheese
Cure my tummy's starving disease.

. . . . . eh?

Now what candy is this?  Can it really be Cheese?
Oh Wonder of wonders!  There it truly be cheese?
Here come let me bite from this Sweet's finest Fold
Herenow let me chew from this Wrapping so Gold!

CRUNCH

. . . . hrmff?

Now what here is this taste I once thought to be sweet?
What flavor on my tongue do these colors secrete?

So the shell is crunchy and moist but not chilling,
And the center oozes with tart cherry filling

Now the center is sweet like a strawberry drop
So I'll savor it faster than a Tootsie Pop

And the Wrapping is nice and tastes rather fresh,
How odd it be for this to taste like gumball flesh.

Oh this Candy so sweet!  But it's nothing like Cheese,
And silly it be to think this better than Cheese!

So I'll savor the flavor of every prize,
And I see more Candy with a glow on my eyes.

"So which next should I try," now I ponder and vex;
Perhaps I will sample the Pink and Blue ones next.

Good day to you folks. Well guys, you’ve been waiting quite patiently, and this your prize; the poem of the Dessert Witch Charlotte!

I new what I wanted to do with this one long before I started it. I wanted to replicate the style of Dr Seuss, but it was hard to pinpoint the exact poetic meter he used (as outlined on Wikipedia), so I just used all of them. I went with the Seussian feel because of the whimsical aura generated by the Witch and her realm, specifically the main room. And let’s be honest with ourselves, Charlotte herself looks like she jumped out of a bad Dr. Seuss book. What makes this poem more twisted is that Dr. Seuss apparently had a thing against the Japanese, and this is a character from a Japanese anime. Let that sink in for a few minutes.

Another I’d like to point out that there is very little Hospital material in this poem. There are one or two related to sickness, but that’s about it. It’s just Charlotte and her main room of candy. There still is a shout out to her mother. The poem basically paints her as a child with an insane sweet tooth hosting a mad tea party, all with subtle darkness. But again, I guess that would be the point considering she’s a completely different creature from the magical girl she use to be.

In regard to Dr. Seuss, he eventually changed his mind on Japan. His war sketches were somewhat racist toward Japan, but after the war his stance changed. He wrote Horton Hears a Who in part as his way of speaking out against America’s neglect in helping Japan recover.
