Poetry Biscuit

I am the enchanted poetry biscuit
No gravy, no butter, I look so bland
Staring at the fridge, will you risk it?
Sweep me away in your hot hands!

I’m so much more than last night’s pizza pie
Come on now, I dare you, take a bite
A radiant magic awaits inside
To quench the burn; set your soul aright

Whether you nuke me, boil me, or bake me,
I’ll satisfy your cravings the same
And like life, I’m as good as you make me
Let the flour and baking soda set you aflame!

“Poetry Biscuit” was an irresistibly compelling suggestion…

Thanks, Andrea! "Poetry Biscuit" was actually one of PDA's suggestions--presumably humorous...

As I always say words have a flavor all their own. You must taste them to truly enjoy a good read. Well Done, God Bless, JB
