Jan Allison Poet Couplet

Saving the Best Till Last

All I could do was stand and stare
Your actions caught me unaware

I’d got it earmarked all for me
To enjoy with my cup of tea

I arrived in the room – my eyes grew wide
The very last chocolate éclair, it was inside
YOUR mouth
ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
MEN!
