L Milton Hankins Poet Verse

My Downfall

Lovely to look at
Incredibly delicious
Fresh baked donuts
Not so nutritious

Sugary and sweet
Glazed so divine
A baker’s dozen
They’re all mine

Too much sugar
Brings on a coma
But I have earned
My donut diploma

Licking my fingers
After each bite
Sends sugar level
Clear out of sight

I’d share my donuts
If you were here
But since you’re not
Perhaps have a beer!
