Have You Seen The Peppermint Pony?
A few years ago I asked readers to send me lines they thought would be good to add to a new song I was writing. There weren’t a lot of responses, but the first three lines of the lyrics below were from contributors. Wanna hear the song (it’s part of my Lullabye Bye collection)? Great. Because it’s in a special coloring, drawing, songbook on Amazon. Yep. All the lyrics. Pages to color and draw on. And a secret link to download all the songs in the book.
And here are the lyrics about the one-of-a-kind horse you’ll only find in this song and a kid’s imagination.
The Peppermint Pony
I cast my gaze into the bright sky
That slowly fades into the night sky.
Stars like sparkling candy twinkle in my mind’s eye.
My pony’s red with a white stripe.
We’re riding down through a snow pipe.
Snowflakes flicker around me; the weather is just my type.
On the Peppermint Pony,
I can ride beyond the daylight into the twilight.
On the Peppermint Pony”
I can dream about the sweet flight into the safe night,
On the Peppermint Pony…on the Peppermint Pony
A lemon star is like a gumdrop.
We take a bite and do a flip-flop.
We find a watermelon mountain and land right on the tip-top
And then the world becomes a sweet dream,
And we can slumber on a moonbeam.
We fall asleep in swirls of chocolate and pure vanilla ice cream.
(repeat chorus)

OK, go get your favorite kid a copy of the book. And if you need some time to think about it, you should jump on the The FunderFlash and be part of the growing band of ne’er-do-wells who understand that life has Rhyme and Reason because God made us.
Stay tuned,
