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!

I'd join you or my grandson, he always asks for the pink one or doughnut hole at the doughnut shop. Thank you for the great inspiring compliment. Blessings

I did. I do. I will do in the future. Sometimes I have to go out late at night to get a donut...especially if I don't have any oatmeal raisin cookies on hand. I'm diabetic. I have a problem!!!!
