Being Good With No Soul

I captured it in white foam For its safe journey to my home And to my abode I rode When I opened it only to spy it look back at me with it's one glazed eye With a sweet odor it gave no sign of fear For it had no ear to hear Of it's pending destruction. It had no soul to carry on, in it's construction After all, whether powder or glazed to promote it It's only a doughnut
