David Crandall Poet Rhyme

The Coffee and the Eclair

Sitting on a napkin, so fair -
the cutest chocolate eclair. 
The coffee said, "I'm strong.  You're sweet. 
How fortunate that we should meet". 
A love story with such promise, but....
it ended in my big fat gut.

CayCay Godwin January 22, 2026 at 2:36 PM VERY GOOD. You hit my spot with chocolate and sent it home with eclair. YUMMY David Crandall January 22, 2026 at 6:45 PM Thanks, CayCay, but I'm finding its not completely working - writing poems about this stuff just is not as satisfying as actually eating them.

Gershon Wolf January 20, 2026 at 8:04 PM Plop! Ka-chunk! David Crandall January 21, 2026 at 11:07 AM As I think about it, it's ashamed that bakers spend so much time creating works of art, pleasing to the eye as well as the taste bud, and then guys like me, disappear them in seconds, flat.
