Sweet Potato

Aroma baking
Pleasure making

Peanutbutter cake
Don't want no fake

Souffle' today
Tomorrow no weigh

Cheesecake crumb
Pour me some rum

I feel better now, just smelling your baking, or is it the rum? Great work!

The audacity of such short pieces always earns my respect. This brevity is full of mysterious depth. Much can be said with only four words. A great write.
