Rapunzel

In the Land of Rapunzel
Where wizards and fairies
Grow organic food and stock up their dairies
With organic cows, ruminating away
On virgin green grass and sunshine rich hay
Olives in groves,where little birds sing
Knowing the fairness,and wisdom you bring
A standard of ethics,that's second to none
In your world crammed with life and a whole lot of fun

Marzipan packed with rich almonds we see
Hanging like diadems off of each tree
Fruit in a subtle sweet cushion of air
Flavouring biscuits
With tastes that are rare
In the Land of Rapunzel
The nut butter hills
Stand aloft feeling soft
As down from them spills
Wonderful streams of honey galore
Pinotepean and Mayan and more

In the Land of Rapunzel
Lives Lukas the King
What he does, for Tofu
Makes even me, sing
Such taste and reward
In a company who
Bring wonderland into
The real world for you
Caring and sharing
On love they are high
Its the story I tell
In the Land where the sky

Has no ozone hell hole
To spread ill, and strife
Just a place where the good
Can live out their life
In the big world outside
There are deserts of grief
Where great ugly monsters
Get massive relief
Compromise people
For profits galore
Paying them"peanuts"
To spray more and more

With terrible chemicals
All around the place
Many get sick
Its a dreadful disgrace
And here my oasis
I call Cooks Delight
Its just down the street
From the monsters that bite
So huge, but I do not allow them to scare
For I've found the big windmill
And go everywhere

Pushing my barrow
Piled high and just say
That they cannot hurt me
Not now, not today
For ethical sourcing
Protects all who dare
And its just great that you
Dear Rapunzel are there
