I THOUGHT I WAS IN HEAVEN

Fruit never tasted better,
my mouth engulfed the blueberry flavor,
so rich and divine, the taste flowing down my throat,
at last I found it in a form that satisfied my guilt
over not eating more of nature’s natural sugar
the way the doctor’s recommended.

But at Baskin and Robbins 31 flavors,
blueberry cheesecake ended my shame,
now and forever I could say with nutritional pride
today I had my fruit (not mentioning cone or cheesecake!)
