This is great.

When I get married, I am soooo going to do something like this.

Ode To A Garlic Knot

The whisper of sweet nothings
from the grocery store display,
A six-pack of baked garlic knots
has romanced me today.

Twisted rolls of toasted bread
lined a shiny bakery tin,
Promising a taste orgasm
and dashing hopes of being thin.

I hesitate a moment-
contemplate a choice so bad,
Then I shoved them in my cart
It was a treat that I must have.

I brought them home and placed them
on the countertop for later,
but minutes passed and I succumb
to the garlic butter flavor.

I opened up the package
and much to my delight,
the garlic knots were soaked in butter
(and I'm assuming it's not "light")

The first bite shocks me to my core
a fat girl's tasty dream -
but seconds into chewing
my tongue begins to scream!

You see, in all my binging glory
I neglected to chew right.
I bit my tongue with such a force
the pain blinded me with fright.

Garlic season seared my wound
and I ran to find a glass
I filled it quick with tap water
and drank it down so fast.

Imagine my surprise
when my stomach began to churn
I had sucked down a cup of warm water
trying to quench the garlic burn.

I stood in angst and glared
at that shiny bakery tin.
I tossed it in the trash and
returned to the quest of finding thin.
