Explore "The Dinkey Bird" by Eugene Field on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
In an ocean, 'way out yonder / (As all sapient people know), / Is the land of Wonder-Wander, / Whither children love to go; / It's their playing, romping, swinging, / That give great joy to me / While the Dinkey-Bird goes singing / In the amfalula tree!
There the gum-drops grow like cherries, / And taffy's thick as peas -- / Caramels you pick like berries / When, and where, and how you please; / Big red sugar-plums are clinging / To the cliffs beside that sea / Where the Dinkey-Bird is singing / In the amfalula tree.
