love is a party ring

I didn't want to eat you

just to put you on my plate

then I noticed that I liked you lots

even more than cake.

I chose my fork with care, because

that is what I do

and iced my way around the edge 

till the marzipan turned blue

but now with crumbs around my face

the crock has become ery

and I realise that I like you best

with a milky cup of tea.
