~~~ Honey an' Sugar ~~~

Honey's sweet it's great to eat,
And it's made by a little bee.
He stores the honey in his hive,
And sometimes up a tree.

To rob the honey from this bee,
Is not as simple as it seems.
But with toxic smoke they scare him off,
And destroy his little dreams.

Sugar's sweet as honey too,
And it comes from sugar cane.
It grows in places where it's hot,
That gets lots and lots of rain.

To get the sugar from the cane,
You must burn it so they say:
'Cos it's guarded by the sugar snake,
And the fire scares him away.

So, I suppose you wonder why,
And you may find it kinda' funny,
To hear about the bee and snake,
And of sugar cane and honey.

I'll tell you why I tell you of them,
What I say is true you'll see.
'Cos I'm that little sugar snake,
And that little honey bee.

'Cos you're my sugar cane, my dear
And you are my honey too.
You are the sweetest thing to me,
And you're really yummy too.

So, they'll not frighten me with fire,
Nor with their toxic smoke.
I'll keep you safe forever more,
'Cos, I have a magic cloak.

I'll put that magic cloak around you,
And keep you safe as safe could be.
I'll take you to a magic land,
Where at last you will be free.

You will be free to give your love,
And you'll be free then to receive.
All the caring joy and happiness,
And eternal love from me.
