Fruitcake
(Dedication: For Janet Wee)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Glimpse a fond treat, glimpse a fine bake;
Reach with warm smile, reach with fine draft;
Add more to wheat, add fruits to stake;
Now passion styles, now purpose crafts.
Design a cake, design a voice;
Fruitcake appeals, fruitcake reveals;
Rich techniques make, rich liquor poise;
Urge brandy's will, urge bounty's fill.
Indulge fine taste, indulge fond feel;
Trust in good tense, trust in clear touch;
Charm claims more haste, charm cheers sure thrill;
Align sweet sense, align good nudge.
Keep treasures neat, keep pleasures here;
Eat fruitcake treat, eat sculptured cheer.
