Once upon a time in a land so grand
Lived creatures big and small, oh so grand
In a gorge they all called home
They roamed and played, never alone

One day they gathered in unison
To ponder on a question quite absurd
"Why do we salivate so furiously
When we see something treacherous and mysterious?"

Some thought it was an oddity
Others believed it was just their instinct
But they all agreed that it was a joyous thing
To feel excitement and rejoice in the moment

As they pondered on, one creature spoke up
"I once saw an acre of land filled with candy
And I couldn't help but salivate and feel treacherous
But it turned out to be just an absurd fantasy"

The others laughed and shook their heads
For they knew that was just a silly dream
But they also knew that it was okay to dream big
And to embrace the oddities that make us unique, it seems

And so they continued to roam and play
In their treacherous and mysterious gorge
Knowing that in their differences and quirks
Lies the beauty of being who they are.
