Banana Split Heaven

Banana Split Heaven I'm in Banana Split Heaven, the ice cream parlor of my dreams, Choosing extra toppings and three flavors of sweet ice cream. A foundation of ripe bananas, served the purpose of a bed, For my decadent dessert, topped with cherries of bright red. I licked my lips in anticipation. Couldn't wait to greedily savor Huge scoops of creamy goodness in all my favorite flavors. Chocolate Moose Tracks, blended with cups of peanut butter, In the center, Bordeaux Cherry. Mmmm, I drool and sputter. Vanilla Raspberry Ripple is really quite sublime. Now it's almost ready, and soon it will be all mine. Lots of peanut sprinkles; sauces of hot fudge and caramel. Fresh whipped cream is sinful. Shhh, I will never tell. Spoon after spoon, I pigged out and ate the whole dish. Should I make one for you? Heck Yes! It sounds delish! October 22, 2015
