The Sound of a Jelly Roll

Sitting on a napkin or plate,
they cause my two eyes to dilate,
and there the silent ringing sound,
the sweetest not heard, the world round. 
Can you hear, as angel bells toll
the chiming tones of a jelly roll?

jelly rolls and donuts are like a siren's song for me...I dive in with no thought as to the number of calories I'm consuming...not until after :-)
