THE ICKLE WICKLE TREE

By Josie Whitehead

Ickle-Wickle Tree (The)
Ickle Wickle Tree (The) - Heading .jpg

There's a special Ickle Wickle Tree
      That grows on Thorny Hill.
Well, it grew there when I was a child,
     But is it living still?

​

Its fruits are flavoured lollipops
     In many different hues,
And I love all those fruity tastes,
     But which ones would you choose?

​

The leaves are really toffee chews,
     And the branches?  Chocolate bars!
And the glittering lights around this tree
     Are just like shining stars.

​

But, oh, there is a problem now,
     And solve it?  Yes I will!
To find this tree you'll have to climb
       High up on Thorny Hill.

​

Sharp thorns and brambles clothe the hill,
     So the tree's quite hard to reach,
But come with me, let's find this tree,
     And pick some lollies each.
