Dunk-Irk

Have you ever opened
A Jammy Dodger
Before you dunked it?
Pure physics;
The calm balanced stress
Of fingers gently
And firmly pulling
The two, firm-stuck sides
Apart;
Pulling but oh so care…
One insignificant corner
Breaks off;
Crumbs
And all dunking ambition ceases;
Replaced by a groan
A flood of pure
Unfiltered disappointment.
The universe is marred
By Saturn’s rings that are scarred.

Enjoyed this immensely. What truly horrifies me is that there are people in the world who actually eat biscuits without dunking them. I mean, what perversion of nature is that??
