Jelly and custard, lemon meringue pie
Sherry trifle with cream piled high
Mincemeat tart and blackberry sponge
Roly-poly with syrupy gunge
Chocolate-coated profiterole
Sugary doughnut (without the hole)
Pineapple fritters and crème brûlée
Treacle toffee straight from the tray
Ice cream with banana split in two
Butterscotch fudge, sticky like glue
Rhubarb crumble and strawberry cheesecake
Brandy snaps that’ll make your teeth ache
Christmas pudding, just one more slice
For goodness’ sake, take my advice:
If all you eat is just desserts
One day you’ll get your just desserts.
