Notes About The Poem

DOOLEY'S DEVIL'S DELIGHT

Darling Dolly liked to dawdle
down past Dooley’s Deli.
Darling Dolly didn’t dabble 
in Dooley’s Devil’s Delight.
Devil’s Delight, a donut dessert,
didn’t do it for Dolly.
Darling Dolly didn’t delight 
in Dooley’s donut dessert.
So Darling Dolly dawdled home
without Dooley’s Devil’s Delight.

Sounds yummy - could it be she was gluten intolerant that's why she couldn't have the donuts? Lol. Maria

Well, that would explain why the donut dessert didn't do it for Dolly! Nice observation.

Coming back to read after clicking your avatar on my poem and found this fantastic rhyme poem in alliterations. This is soo good and I'm sure children will love this as much as I do. Thanks for sharing and good luck my dear poet friend. Hugs

Thank you, Len. I'm an early childhood teacher, but even big people are allowed to enjoy alliteration poetry!
