"mississippi Mud/Flood"

My desserts not by special rules
The cause of many mouths of drools   

My special pie is a` La Mode
Makes finicky taste buds explode

Now my Mississippi mud
Why, it brings a mosaic flood

Then there’s my Peach cobbler
Many a  big tummy wobblier

Now there is my pie of raisin
Surely to draw much praising 

Why not ice cream your Apple pie 
Just go on to heaven and die

Let me tell you, my Cherry cheese
I never stump a toe, or sneeze

My cheesecakes, never a fake
My critics in their boots quake

Now let me proceed to make
You my German chocolate cake

For my dear Cherokee momma
Never did used store bought drama

I learn from mom, you all know
She brought my brown eyes to glow

The how of my special desserts
Pleases so very much it hurts

With my scrumptious dessert
Taste buds desire more than just flirt

Bringing your lust to a pitch
You certainly need bring a switch
