Analysis of Coloured Candy



Pink, yellow, blue...candy,
Put them in your mouth,
Cause they look so dandy.

Wait a few minutes,
Soon you'll hit the deck,
It won't take long,
Just another sec.

Is that a fairy dragon?
Or a multi-coloured snake?
Wake up from your demise,
Your sanity is at stake.

Your head's a spinning top,
Your heart starts racing,
Make the call to stop,
It's your life you're wasting.
