All for the Love of Pastry

My eyes have gone weird, it’s driving me crazy.
My brain’s in a fog, it’s all a bit hazy.
Because I’ve begun to eat my way through,
the desserts in the case, and not just a few.
All for the love of pastry!

It was instant and quick; it was love at first sight.
When I entered the shop and spied my delights.
My heart was aflutter, my body in heat,
weak in the knees, and swept off my feet.
All for the love of pastry!

My brain is now filled with its calculations:
how many days to have these creations.
Not wanting to miss one chance or two,
with duplication ruining my coup.
All for the love of pastry!

I’ve managed to keep a careful track,
of what I’ve munched and what I”ve lacked,
and not get the different names confused,
nor the different creams that have been infused.
All for the love of pastry!

But there’s too many things out there to distract,
like olives, gelato, yummies to snack,
and sourdough bread, spread with goat cheese,
I must not be seduced, not with such ease.
All for the love of pastry!

And if I develop, too soon in the game,
one chosen love, only one flame,
I may end up in monogamy,
and surrender my patisserie promiscuity.
All for the love of pastry!

If you’re wondering at all what E has to say,
is she jealous of this, of my new love today?
I’d say she has flirted, with her love of long time,
with belts and with shoes, not really a crime.
All for the love of pastry!
