PS -- Some are misunderstanding. The "Stop" is the sound of the heart stopping when cholesterol clogs the arteries.
Decadent ladyfinger
Infused with coffee
Layered, rich, cheese filled delight
I long for your taste
My Italian love
And your rum
Yum!

Smile so nicely
Saliva pours for
Sweet pumpkin

Ode to Chocolate :)

Deliciously inviting
Tempting to my tongue
Silky chocolate velvet
Whether milk or dark
Candy, cocoa too-
Melts in mouth
~ Mmmmm! ~
. The yellow cream filled twinkie
A frozen delight,
Try eating it nice and cold;
Tongue enveloping
Tonsil tackling
Throat filling
Cream!
