Singled Out for the Sweetest Serenade

Turning to merge with the happy
herd,
I heard clinking against frosty
 glass --
Ladyfingers escaping tiramisu,
Followed by creamy swirls of
Chocolate mousse -- 
And beckoned to their shelf, I
asked
If they desired of me to have a
word.

A dolce chorus of confections
confessed
How to my hips they wished to
bestow
Love handles destined to be
caressed 
Through the streets of the Feast
Of San Gennaro.
