It was a classy one, and only the best of staff were hired.

Overseeing its operation, was genuinely a labor of love,
As the noon warming sunshine, oversees...

You go into the kitchen and begin to prepare a meal.
I tiptoe up behind you and tickle your waist.
You jump and squeal with laughter.

And all that can be done with it
From the slathering on whilst sun bathing
To globbing it on my bologna sandwich

Penning delicacies
Like chocolate eclairs
Lemon chiffon
Colorful words, affairs

Detailing mouthwatering
Thoughts, lovely pies
Capturing the silent joy
Twinkling in the eyes
Of those mouthwatering
Desserts who...

Harmony's tones are blown through the air,
like lilac's laughter scattering

as jasmine's megaphone hums.
Music's smooth movements dance within...

A coolness settles, shorter days advanced,
Easterlies, westerlies, tradewinds strong,

Mid leaves lay spiked beech, acorn--care enhanced,
Rustling ochre, crimson leaves...

Down the road 
Where we could see egg yolks beaten with milk

To deploy soy,
Into everything I enjoy,
My tastebuds to destroy.
