The Last Donut Temptation

The Last Donut Temptation
David J Walker 

A thousand donut shops
Greet me on the street
I see them on the way
To anyone I meet 

I smell their frier frying
I can tell  their bakers bake
I see their cream puffs creaming
I see the cinnamon shake

I know their glazers glaze
Their long johns twist and swirl
My eyes glass in a daze
As I  watch their cruller curl 

I can taste the fine white powder 
Shaken on the top
Of every sprinkled donut 
Every chocolate drop

It makes me twitch and twitter
If I am in the store 
And a fresh hot apple fritter 
Tells me I need just one more

I plead for divine intervention
A pray sincere and quiet 
Save me from temptation
And this stupid cursed diet

My self-control seems to run out of batteries at times. LOL. Thank you Heidi.

Hello David Walker, it is hard to walk away from the doughnut. I love the chocolate. My fav. I do like others like the Boston Cream. Enjoy your day my friend.
