Golden Ticket To My Desire Factory

Let me tilt my top hat, And put on a smile, Let me courtesy and bow... “Name’s Charlie” “Welcome to my desire factory!” Let your own mind illuminate Rest of the journey, Chocolates are obsolete, My factory now reads Your deepest desires! So what you wish is what you get, So follow the purple road, Through pink fountains, Dotted along by red plantains, Those dwarfs in green point the way, To destination ‘sanctum ignorum’! Here you will find a masterpiece. A decorated mirror gilded in gold, There are no machines or gadgets! just that mirror, that makes whatever is your deepest desire! If you are bereft of reason, slave to desires, guided by ignorance, deaf to wisdom, blinded by greed, my mirror will give you all you need! Stand in front of the mirror, just wish! From your dream car to a tasty dish, Clap your hand,reach out to touch, All worldly objects will materialise, Take your stuff and pay at the gate! Our currency? please note: is no longer money!!! But we only charge you that you may no longer need for your worldly deeds. Pay us in morals, it is well valued, if you have saved any, You can also exchange your compassion and love! special offer today for a kind heart, just leave it at the gate and pick up Your want! This strange world feeds our new factory, where we simply collect your innate sweetness, And give you what you greed! “Let me Welcome you all to the new Willy Wonka factory!!” Written 18/05/2020 Sponsor Caren Krutsinger 1st placement Contest: Willy Wonka Is Not Here so what’s my factory going to make?

Hi Deepa Thanks for your kind words and feedback. You are most welcome to use the mirror but you have to win a golden ticket first, which you may get when you do your next good deed. :) Best wishes

Thanks Aditi. Always lovely to hear your views and pleased you like this. Have been working long hours weekend and did not know if I had the capacity to write. This just came out inspired by Gene Wilder’s soul!

What biting satirical gem, Krish. Greed is the name of the game in the Trump era (although he is merely a reflection of the problem. Superb! :) gw

Thanks Gershon! It is so hard for people to see the reality, confused by media and victimised by the politicians!
