I Just Love Coconut

So sweet and absolutely delicious
I can take it in any form at all
it has a special taste all of its own
one which hearing its name makes you call

Any kind of chocolate flavoured bar
with coconut within means its mine
dark, milk, or even white I do love
it's just a dream so I follow its sign

Another favorite that I truly love
is a coconut ice bat so really sweet
but too many of them stick to your teeth
your taste buds tell you it just can't be beat

My mother used desiccated coconut
when baking her variety of lovely cakes
I would eat some when mum not looking
so sweet tastefully better than any steaks

They are some lovely coconut drinks
coconut and pineapple is a real delight
but really I love anything that's got coconut
so the thought of this first just feels so right

I am from the land of coconut trees. Here our rivers and beaches are hemmed with coconut trees. We use it in abundance for making sweets and curry ! Tender coconut is a delicious thing. Really enjoyed your yummy poem.... Gordon

Hi Gordon, I love your poem. At this time of year, I usually make a recipe called Heavenly Hash. It's a really nice dessert. Blessing Debra
