Best Custard Poems

I look at the green crocodile balls placed in handcrafted bamboo basket
They look ripe and tempting.
The snake skinned vendor looks at me with hopeful eyes
His turtle legs skin with every vein visible is a testimony of many days of hunger
He wears a wrinkled robe of...

Let me tell you a short story
A tale of long ago
When mother was a teenage bride
One who loved her man so

His mother always made dessert
Different everyday

She had all...

Dad was digging in the garden 
When he struck a custard well
Mum was none too happy
By her phizog you could tell

Mum was still unhappy
“This has...

Much nicer than Pilchard Jelly

Today I had some custard
But it didn't cut the mustard
Though I really thought that it would be the best.

Based on ice-cream loving gumption
That what looks impressive must leave you impressed.

So the next time I'll be cautious;
Though this didn't make me...

Custard and cold jelly
Creamy rich and delish
Coating a fruit pie dish.
Cornflour, sugar, egg, milk, 
Cream, vanilla, heat, mix. 
Chilled inside a cold fridge;
Cold pie thrown by a clown.
