EGG-STASY an ode to the gustatory orgasm

An ode to the gustatory ****** My mouth meanders through this dream This memory of breakfast in bed A lover seducing my every desire Sweet maple, slight hint of flannel A light crispness of waffle Caressed by firm red breasted berries A passing breath of hickory smoke To mingle light sweetness With the tingle of strawberries Bathed in Vermont’s best maple Eggs, uncaged, unfettered by shells Sunrise yolks spreading across crisp waffles To quell the insatiable beast of morning Palate cleansed by the darkness Of steaming hot black coffee A tremble at the first taste of Egg-stasy kissed by syrup Teased by a sharp berry bite Placed upon the edge Of hickory salty ham My taste buds shriek As each bite intensifies My gustatory ******

John, this is wonderful! As a "foodie", I can definitely relate to the gustatory orgasm! One time my foodie friend and I were in a restaurant, and I ordered some decadent dessert. When I placed the first spoonful reverently into my mouth, I closed my eyes and began to moan, audibly. My friend whispered frantically, "Will you STOP??" She looked around to see if anyone had heard me. I said to her, "Can't help it! Food orgasm!" Loved your poem! (and I grew up in Boston)

Sounds like a perfect wakeup call... sweet syrup, salty ham, and juicy berries. Seconds, please.
