Gershon Wolf Poet Free verse

Just Desserts

Soup, salad – appetizers
  Cookies, cake – desserts

Appetizers to whet our appetites
   Desserts to satisfy them

But what if we served desserts first
  After the entrée, would we still
    have room for appetizers… 

Dispense with the appetizers
  There’s always room for desserts

L Milton Hankins June 15, 2022 at 7:18 PM Good one, gw. I certainly agree with the last couplet. Give me the dessert any day.

Gershon Wolf June 16, 2022 at 8:20 PM Dessert == keep coming back for 2nds, six or seven times. LOL.
