DISCOMFORT FOOD

05 13 05 - 02 03 12

My first affair with strawberry fermented heaven on my tongue
The milky sweetness of vanilla carpentered the bottom rung
upon the ladder my enlightened sweet teeth were about to climb
for the height of comfort food fulfillment guilty-pleasurably sublime
And chocolate never failed to incite my will to munch
on dessert that pulled me by the tongue around the mandate of lunch
since I'd yet to let the winter cool of mint consult my lips
on the eve of more vanilla but this time with chocolate chips
By the time I sampled neapolitan my mouth was numb
My stomach swooned and to a headache I was destined to succumb
I laid down for a nap and woke up in an ice cream shop
where I walked toward a talking scoop that ordered me to stop
In disbelief I managed to say to it, "What are you?"
It replied with mouth I couldn't see, "Why I am peachy through and through
because dear glutton we have given you our comfort for too long
and now the flavours and I are to prove it's with us it belongs."
Chocolate and vanilla swirled up into an avalanche
Rolling fast toward me it did not allow a backward glance
On that front I needed fancy footwork to escape its path
just in time to see it only fueled the chocolate's wrath
Then in chocolate chips of ammo I was suddenly awash
but I woke in time to sidestep the electric tigersquash
Now unjust desserts I reckon summoned me to this bad dream
but my heart and not my tummy hurts to think of bad ice cream

I'd write more fun stuff like this if I could but, well, I can't...anyways, a conversation with a friend of mine inspired me to post this one ;)

Lots of tongue action in this one Benji, I must have been on hiatus for this delight ..you and your vanilla...ha, discomfort, hardly sounds like it, this had to be drug induced, peachy background glances and plenty of chocolate, I almost want to take a bite out of it! Ftw is 'electric tigersquash', this is off the charts even for you Steve...always a trip with you! ;-) xo

100 scoops, vanilla of course!

Haha Vanilla and tongues do seem to go hand in hand with me now that you mention it Mrs.R ;) Well anything is possible with me when it comes to inspiration, though I honestly can't remember in this case...maybe that's saying something in itself haha You've made my day with your review love, thanks so much :) xo

[Frieda P]

So you're not gonna tell me what 'electric tigersquash' is!! I've been waiting all day..... ;-P

[kublakhan27]

Haha It's a flavour that looks yellow and black...it made me think of lightning ;P

[Frieda P]

A flavor, on what planet?? hahaha

[kublakhan27]

Haha Maybe it's a Canadian thing...those wacky Canucks you know ;)

[Frieda P]

Now it's all falling into place, makes perfect sense LOL '-)

[kublakhan27]

LOL Not that it would ever get near my lips...I think it's kind of a licorice flavour ;P

[Frieda P]

Gawd forbid you should stray from vanilla! ;-P

[kublakhan27]

Haha Not a chance Mrs.R ;P

[Frieda P]

I didn't think so, put on your big boy pants and be bold Benji hahah ;-P

[kublakhan27]

[Frieda P]
