Chocolate Layer Cake, Personification.(Runner-Up in the contest!)


Oh you may bring out your pizza
Your chips and your milkshake
But I am the only real food
For I'm chocolate layer cake.

The others all, pretenders be
They cannot match my taste
They don't melt in the mouth
Some are a squashy, pulpy waste.

I'm the noblest of them all
Made of the cocoa bean
I'm rich in milk, sugar and eggs
I'm fit for the king and queen.

Take in the sight of me
Inhale the splendid fragrance
Hold me, softly in your hands
Feel my elegance.

Put out your tongue and get
A taste of my richness
Nibble, bite -- chew
Feel the bliss, the goodness.

There's none that can rival me
Some, foolishly, have tried
I simply ignore them
Us royals have our pride.

Close your eyes, I'll take you
To meet your wild fantasies
Let my taste make this world
Become anything that you please.

Ignore those peanut crunchies
Eschew that popcorn
Let mine be the only dish
Your table to adorn.

The others pale before me
None can come even close
I'm the chocolate layer cake
Stuff of poetry and prose!
