Notes About The Poem

Oinker At the Dessert Bar

Oh, give me cake with double chocolate
And strawberry with sweetened cream whipped stiff.
And if you have a cake named butter nut,
I’ll have that too. For just a little whiff
of carrot cake with pineapple thrown in,
I’ll go bananas!  Come to think of it,
I might as well go all out in my sin
and also order a banana split!
Each scoop of ice cream different I will take -
one scoop of toffee flavor, one of mint,
and walnut too with slices of my cake!
Let cherries, butterscotch, and caramel drop
onto it all until I say to stop!

Crikey Andrea... you haven't half got a sweet tooth have you. Sort of grinning at your poem and wincing at the thought of so much dessert to get through - Lindsay

A sonnet, you know I just had to read it. I did not enter this contest and perhaps should have but been very busy on other projects here and elsewhere. Great sonnet , should do very well methinks. A7

Sounds like my kind of ice cream sunday :) Yes I would rather tell you the poems you haven't read. So you don't have to look for them. Cuz I don't like searching at times myself :) Loyalty is another one I don't see your name on :)

That was delicious! I could go for another verse -- something with dark chocolate, cashews, and peanut butter . . . 7
