Memorial Day Treat

I had no cookout to attend With loads of barbecue; My spirits needed perking up, So what’s a gal to do? I hurried to a Shake Shack With the energy I’d mustered, To check the daily flavors Of their oh-so-creamy custard. I hit the jackpot and my heartstrings Answered with a twang, For Monday’s special was my fave: Ta-da! Lemon meringue. That velvety consistency Was soft and smooth as cream. I had to pinch myself to prove This wasn’t just a dream. I know a hot dog and a beer Would be more apropos, But custard in a cone was still A perfect way to go!
