Panagiota Romios Poet Rhyme

My Butterscotch Sundae

                   


             My Butterscotch Sundae




Butterscotch sundae, with a long spoon, in a tall glass.
Sitting at the sparkling, clean fountain, a little pig-tailed 
girl of eight in a white pinafore with class.

And though the dancing decades have passed me way
far too fast.
I still see myself at that beloved fountain, grateful
for another year at last.

Surely, I miss the safety, the innocence, the godliness of
decades past.
But for now? I will relish each cooling taste of my favorite 
butterscotch sundae's most delicious repast!

Rico Leffanta July 15, 2020 at 2:30 PM I thought they stopped selling butterscotch decades ago? Lucky you can still find it! Aloha! Rico Panagiota Romios July 15, 2020 at 3:14 PM Try living on the Mainland or do a yahoo search, perchance! Bet they have plenty of ganja there and roach clips...heh Heh..Butterscotch is not a drug. You made me laugh, though. Panagiota

Ann Gilmour July 15, 2020 at 3:13 AM Such sweet memories your sundae evokes, such joy and innocence it made me smile. With love and hugs Ann xx Ann Gilmour July 17, 2020 at 7:41 PM your black velvet Mary Janes sounded divine ~ how pretty they must have looked on your dainty dancing feet my dear Panagiota... as you danced the night away... wheeeeeeee... Panagiota Romios July 15, 2020 at 6:34 AM Hi Ann, So glad you told me it made you smile! Oh, forgot to mention those were the days we actually wore shoes, which I love. Sad to see us turn into a running shoe nation. Mom bought me Mary Janes. One pair I adored were black velvet. Simply scrumptious....Panagiota and ^*^xxoo
