If You Are Going To Try and Mold Me

If you are going to try and mold me into something
Could it be a cinnamon roll please?
A great big giant cinnamon roll and put frosting on my top.
Drizzle it on thick and give me a tongue.

If you cannot do that, can I be a hot scone full of blueberries?
Big juicy ripe citrus-smelling blueberries all round and stuff.
And of course, you will have to give me a tongue.
If not a tongue, a tooth so I can eat a bit of myself.

My third choice is to become apple pie.
Bake me up crisp and sweet.
Make my filling with the thinnest apple slices
Add lots of flour so I can thicken up as I cook.
And add a tongue of course.

L Milton Hankins May 12, 2022 at 9:24 PM Oh my, you've increased my longing for a big piece of apple pie with a scoop of vanilla ice cream...and just when I had determined I really need to lose about ten pounds! Caren Krutsinger May 12, 2022 at 9:27 PM I am ready to share that pie with you Hank. Hope all is well!
