Creme Puff- le Magnifique

Cream Puff, le Magnifique

You say that you put vanilla pudding in a cream puff?
I thought this was a misdemeanor or a felony.

Oh, cream puff, what is it about you?
With the first bite, I instantly hear
the first eight measures of Debussy's
Clair de Lune, not from a piano, 
but the orchestra’s string section.
Doesn’t everyone? 

Your pillow of puff is your golden crown 
and below is a white cream
that could blind the whiteness 
of the brightest clouds on a summer’s day. 
To eat you is like breathing blissfulness.

And so, you see
my roommate fair
I am justified 
hucking that tennis ball at you
down the hall 
when you made off with
- the last cream puff- so stealthily.
