Ode To a Cannoli
Dearest cannoli, of chocolatey lore
I could never desire but anything more
Than your sugary goodness, so wonderfully sweet,
I could never imagine a more fetching treat
With the finest chocolate chips encrusted
And powdered sugar finely dusted
filling white and a crust of gold
You are beauty to behold
Sweet cream enveloped dessert delight
Paradise in every bite
Oh, how you make me salivate
My love for you shall not abate
Decadence fit for a king
A single bite and angels sing
Your flavors blend to make one merry
Cannoli, you’re extraordinary
I do not care what says the scale
Cannolis I will still inhale
Some manage one, but I could eat seven,
Cannoli, you take me to glycemic heaven
Dearest cannoli, you wonderous confection
I could go on about your perfection
But I do grow hungry, don’t be mad, I entreat you,
For I think it is time that I finally eat you!
