The Magical Marshmallow Tour
Poem about marshmallows, funfairs - with a heavy dose of inspiration from The Beatles...
Imagine yourself in a stream or a park
In a little boat or on a little bench
Candyfloss trees and marshmallow skies
You hear a voice echoing, calling you
*
Roll up
Roll up for the marshmallow tour
Roll up
Roll up for the marshmallow tour
*
Roll up
for your inspiration
Roll up for the marshmallow tour
Roll up
if you're ravenous
Roll up for the marshmallow tour
*
The magical marshmallow tour
Is here to help you play
Here to help you play
*
You stand in line and pay for a ticket
In a expansive fairground wonderland
Full of pretty lights and loud music
Stalls of sweet treats, sensorial delight
*
Roll up
Roll up for the marshmallow tour
Roll up
Roll up for the marshmallow tour
*
Roll up
it's everything you ever need
Roll up for the marshmallow tour
Roll up
guaranteed satisfaction indeed
Roll up for the marshmallow tour
*
the magical marshmallow tour
is hoping to fill you with jou
dying to fill you with joy
with joy today
*
Thanks for reading!
Author's Notes: Blame my love of marshmallows and memories of fun fairs and carnivals and the delicious sweet treats that were always available there, in addition to my love for The Beatles.
This is not the first time I have written about marshmallows...

This was so fun, Sir Paul! I sang it to my own tune!
This was fun and whimsical! Nicely done!
Somehow reading this fills me with dread, as though the Blue Meanies are running the show & & I'm Pinocchio. Well done, Paul.
A fun read with great imagery! Made me hungry for toasted marshmallows over the fire!
Ha! I’ve been awaiting this one Paul (I had to be sure it was a real work in progress and not some deranged threat 😂). Well here’s my answer. Now I want marshmallows, a gobful (yes that’s a word autocorrect). This really transported me to a funfair. Well done you!
Yum yum... but I have to ask (whispering) were you on drugs? :-D
We all live innnna giant marshmallow! 🎵..Nope doesn’t have the same ring. I kept thinking how many marshmallows did you have in your gob whilst writing this. I like that u like your sweets too. 😁 Must get around to reading the rest of your “marshmallow collection”! Adios and happy eating!!
The Magical Mystery Tour played in my thoughts as I read this. Loved the carnival atmosphere and sense of fun in this one. Reminiscent of wide-eyed childhood.
So, now I'm craving marshmallows and my sweet tooth needs no encouragement! Toasted are best though.
Lol 😂 Nothing quite like a pink square of powdered cocaine to get those kids cheering at the carnival! Now you have my inner child remembering the delicious decadence of toasted marshmallows!!!! Mmmmmmm Once an addict…. Always…. Ummm…. Well… perhaps always an addict 😂😂😂
Wow, incredible poem! Well done Paul!😊
