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.
