4.0

I liked it as much as chocolate but
Oompa Loompa’s rhyme kind of lazily 
And towards the end - their songs become tedious 
If you like songs - it might make you crazy 

Heartwarming, sort of, we all know the story 
Willy Wonka has the ability to make me feel like a child  
There’s candy and whimsy and lessons about love and kindness 
Thank you Roald Dahl for a book that’s both worthwhile and wild
