Grotesque

Grotesque

A Poem by Earl Schumacker
"

Manners... good enough to eat

"
                         Grotesque

Fresh baby berries blue, spread out in afternoon
On a fluffy smooth bed of cheesecake creamery
A surface filled with new red cherries mix
Clean peach slices cold and quite delicious
Fill in foundations on the side of delicate delights
A thin line of chocolate swirls above pure love
Deserts heaven is at the core of tasty pleasure 
Too bad savages can't employ a fork
That would be too easy, normal and what for
Barbarians destroy the mood
Never learned to use a spoon
Filthy hands grab at the cake 
Savages fill their faces full
Stuff it in with wild abandonment
Laughter remains with dirty plates 
Manners and crumbs lay on the floor
