If some confectioners were willing
To let the shape announce the filling,
We’d encounter fewer assorted chocs,
Bitten into and returned to the box.– Ogden Nash

After all, we’re all friends here.
I run home to the confectionery of your smile.
Each time you laugh out loud
it is like a soft bun with icing
or a cream-filled roll that
gushes when I bite into it
getting on my chin
never enough of you
to get all of you into my mouth
in one sitting
