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.

The frustration will strike a chord with many!

I tried for ages before reading, to guess what the title was about but failed utterly, it's brilliant! And how "crumbs" could be both an expression of annoyance and, literally crumbs. And how you show the real time concentration with "care..." and drop the "fully". Nothing dodgy about your poem, it's jam packed with skill

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??
