An Ode To Pudding (or) I Swoon For A Spoon

whether chocolate or coconut or butterscotch or banana,

there’s no wrong way to eat it from within my cabana.

I like it in cups, I like it in pies,

I like it on oreos, or as a surprise.

Pudding is simple, it’s easy to make;

and yet its a treat a king might even take.

First there’s the mixing bowl and the spoon that need licking,

and then there’s the waiting while the clock goes on ticking.

Maybe you swipe a finger or a spoon

through the pudding that’s setting while whistling a tune.

Then Finally! oh…finally–at last it is done,

but you yourself, have only begun.
