Notes About The Poem
From Wikipedia: Tim Tam is a brand of chocolate biscuit introduced by the Australian biscuit company Arnott’s in 1964. It consists of two malted biscuits separated by a light hard chocolate cream filling and coated in a thin layer of textured chocolate.
IT s THE LITTLE THINGS LIKE TIM TAMS

i’m handing them out, like pamphlets,

my neighbor came over for coffee.
before she left, i handed her three treats.
she gasped, herself a published author,

of munchable tim tams…indeed! of course.
to treat my bible study group friends,
i will have to grab another, unopened box,
hand them out for free. the delightful share

alongside hot water and teabags. cartwheeling…
