The Glory of the Knickerbocker

Knickerbocker Glory There's a story How it got it's name It originated in New York In the early 1900s', so I've heard talk. After a Hotel painted pink and cream Gave rise to the Knickerbocker Glory dessert dream The Knickerbocker Hotel sounds absurd The Knickerbocker Glory is the name I heard, It was a popular place To embrace Until the 1920s, when business decreased And this glorious hotel deceased, They made a dessert all pink and white So every palate could delight In the glory and the flavour And savour, Memories of times gone by When people just like you and I Wanted to preserve the Knickerbocker story With a decadent sundae in all its glory.

What an interesting bit of history! I googled it and found pictures of the hotel and mouthwatering dessert. A splendid poem. :)
