Peanut brittle broken in tiny pieces The immutable desire drove him forward There was no interlude from the increases Of his huge appetite sketched out straightforward It was with formidable search for words To describe how so a tenuous man decreases The candy dish's immutable contents rearward Not demurely but open-faced stuff'n eases Bereft of the peanut brittle crunch, I fast forward At least by his fast consumption, I'm honored Totally made up even though my family can consume that peanut brittle when I make it like it was water rolling down.. Tenuous here means slender Sketch here means drawn out or described Written: November 1, 2017
