Another Stale Old Tart
There was but one
dark chocolate tart
left in the silver tray
It’s cherry, pinched by passersby
so early in the day
Its dreams were dashed
as it could see
the softly dimming light
meant that the little bakery
was closing for the night
It longed, just to be purchased
A cream filled destiny
But all was lost, it seemed
as there was little hope, you see
Though thoroughly delicious
and still a work of art
No one seems to care about
another stale old tart
