Beryl Edmonds Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

Just Desserts

Just Desserts
How do I compare thee to a trifle
Soft as a jelly and quite an eyeful
Merry as sherry, in for good measure
Joy filled as the table's crown jewel treasure.

Sweeter than custard or madeira cake
Nutty as toasted, tasty almond flakes.
Much smoother than dreamy whipped cream by far
As for being fruity, o yes thou are.

Savouring delights and smacking of lips
A tasty dish, how'd one ever resist
Hundreds and thousands to top it all too
Tho' there's no topping quite as good as you.

Of course I am no angel of delight
In fact I'm not even a pretty sight
But I can whip up amazing desserts
What's more I'm ace at ironing a shirt.

Astounding write. Blessings and hugs, Jennifer. Beryl Edmonds January 10, 2021 at 11:34 AM Ha Jennifer, they say the way to a man's heart is through his stomach, the ironing’s a bonus.

Andrea Dietrich January 7, 2021 at 3:56 PM this is adorable poetry!! I wrote one with same title many years ago but it had nothing to do with this kind of sweet topic. It was a murder mystery!!!
