A Penguin Waffle
This year, all around the world
The alarm bells have been ringing loudly
Today, I have escaped to the country
Away from humanities blaring sirens
I am at the Moorabool Valley Chocolate Cafe
Relaxing with a mug of coffee
And a scrumptious piece of cheesecake
Then suddenly, without warning
My sweet tooth starts chiming
There on the counter I spied a βPenguin Waffleβ
And as my mom used to say
βIf you have a sweet tooth, sometimes
you just must have chocolateβ

Your poem is lovely and just perfect for our challenge.
I love the images and the penguin waffle brought a smile to my face. Oh, and Frankie’s expression, he looks as though he’s asking’ Where is mine?’ Thank you for taking part in our challenge Ivor. π
