Dizdain

I hold disdain for the dizain,
Prefer bananas to plantains,
The tail-rhyme over the quatrain,
The trivial to the inane,
And, frankly, like my ice cream plain.
Some folks prefer a chocolate sauce
But I am rather at a loss
To suggest one I’ve come across,
So keep the gold and skim the dross.
Vanilla bean, man, that’s the boss.

My eyes are wild from reading this one, but in a good way! My mind is opened up a bit now too and I thank you!

Plain vanilla if its good quality is fine, but bring on the toppings!
