Getting My Just Desserts

Getting high on chocolate dreams
Soft meringues and coffee creams
Hypnotized by lemon pies

Velvet cakes makes me shake
With hopes of having belly aches
From cookies as a sinful prize

Brownies cheesecakes cupcakes too
Each luscious morsel drips with goo
Cascading cross my grateful tongue

The crunchy parts of almond tarts
Cream puffs tempt my aching heart
A symphony of taste is sung

Now it's time to take a stroll
Past donuts plump and jelly rolls
The aroma makes it hard to choose

Creme brulee and Bananas Foster
Sets atop my bakery roster
Flavored with a touch of booze

With greed and guile down the aisle
Each item only makes me smile
Sticky sweet as clover honey

After filling up my shopping cart
Reluctantly I have to part
'Cause I just spent all my money

Thanks Kim, the only setback is that I put on ten pounds writing it.
