It is okay that you
Already miss me like a
Cheesy tot hot dish and
Cafeteria chocolate pudding.
Scratch-made sizzling
Bursts of proclamation,
Prodding every thirsting tooth and bud,
You salivate,
Savoring the morsels I could bestow.
All-you-can-eat by mouth and hand,
Gallons of delectable acquiescence,
From heated milk and sugar
To a thick coating on the spoon,
Relishing the delights you could demand.
Quick now,
Before the veneer congeals!
Display before me the feasts we could devour.
Show me how we are to be consumed.
