Today the prompt is taste.
Imitations.
The sugary crunchiness waves to you
From the bag on the
Supermarket shelf.
You walk past.
Then walk back.
Then on again, but no,
You give in and
Put one bag of those
Sugary crunchy doughnuts
In your trolley.
Back home you
Make a brew
And put one
On a plate.
Then you sit in
Your favourite chair
With a book to read.
You take one bite.
And then you
Remember.
THESE doughnuts are
Gloopy and laggy,
They lack crunch,
They have sweet and sickly
Gooey stuff
In the middle.
They are not
The sugary and crunchy
Doughnuts of your dreams.
To get the proper ones
You need to be at the
Seaside.
They need to come from
A booth on the front,
Fresh fried and
Piping hot, and
Dripping with
Sugar.
THOSE are the
Real Thing!
