It's the greatest ice-cream in the land,
the Knickerbocker Glory is regal and grand.
all the other ones are inferior and bland,
It's the Knickerbocker i'll devour with spoon in hand.
You can have your rum & raisin, vanilla or mint with choc-chips,
the Knickerbocker Glory is the only one to pass my lips.
Forget your strawberry, chocolate, served with flakes, syrup or dips,
I'm off to the hotel again, I love my Knickerbocker trips.
The Knickerbocker is glorious, it really is the best,
there's none comes close, it's better than the rest.
forget your banana, your bubblegum or lemony zest,
I'll only entertain the Knickerbocker Glory, that I will attest.
The Knickerbocker Glory is simply a visual sensation,
It's famous and loved across the whole nation.
The Knickerbocker Glory is voted #1 by the population,
It's Knickerbocker-glorious, the greatest ice-cream creation.
What a rockstar life i live
I just defrosted the fridge freezer
But at least i now have
Plenty of
Ice , ice baby
Only problem is
Pity shame the vanilla
ice cream went off
So unfortunately now

As they are off the menu
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.
A Knickerbocker Glory please
Was always his reply
He loved this ice cream sundae
Waited patiently as it was made
He loved the cream
He loved the fruit
He loved the sprinkles too
but his favourite was the cherry
perched on top ~ bright red and new
He carefully ate around it
taking only from the side
At times it would get buried
and sometimes it would hide
But on this day
this fateful day
faster than the speed of light
a seagull swooped
gave out a shriek
and snatched the cherry
with his vicious beak
Swallowed in one
the evil deed done
The moral of this story
to eat a Knickerbocker Glory
is to eat your cherry first
now his target it has gone
So that pesky greedy seagull
is now likely to move on
There is really nothing worse
than to fly into a glass headfirst
your head will be stuck fast
your last breathe will be a gasp
suffocation ~ asphyxiation
death by Knickerbocker Glory
now that would be a gory story...
Written 25th August 2019 after witnessing a rather similar scenario as a man was fighting off marauding seagulls, whilst trying to eat his KBG, haha...
