Paige Turner Poet Rhyme

Knickerbocker-Glorious

It's the greatest ice-cream in the land,
the Knickerbocker Glory is regal and grand.
all the other ones are inferior and bland,
It's the Knickerbocker i'll devour with spoon in hand.

You can have your rum & raisin, vanilla or mint with choc-chips,
the Knickerbocker Glory is the only one to pass my lips.
Forget your strawberry, chocolate, served with flakes, syrup or dips,
I'm off to the hotel again, I love my Knickerbocker trips.

The Knickerbocker is glorious, it really is the best,
there's none comes close, it's better than the rest.
forget your banana, your bubblegum or lemony zest,
I'll only entertain the Knickerbocker Glory, that I will attest.

The Knickerbocker Glory is simply a visual sensation,
It's famous and loved across the whole nation.
The Knickerbocker Glory is voted #1 by the population,
It's Knickerbocker-glorious, the greatest ice-cream creation.

Beryl Edmonds July 17, 2023 at 2:28 PM I love a Knickerbocker Glory too, or did do in my youth, they are simply delicious, although far too much for me now. Lovely poetry Paige… Belle

Paige Turner July 2, 2023 at 3:11 PM I used to go to a hotel with my Nana Betty as a treat when I was just a kid and I'd order a Knickerbocker Glory. It's like a tall sundae (so you need a long spoon), with strawberry, vanilla, raspberry ice cream, whipped cream, chocolate stick, wafer on top and usually strawberry syrup (or 'Monkey's Blood' we say in the UK). The name of it is a Knickerbocker Glory, but I've always called it a Knickerbocker Glorious. It holds special memories for me and truly is Glorious to eat. Thanks for comment
