Cupid's Arrow: Haikus for Little Debbie

This one goes out to PaulaCohen-Martin, who asked the Valentines to profess our love of Little Debbie through Haiku.

Well, Paula, you came to the right place, because I could wax poetic about Little Debbie cakes for hours.  In fact...

When I was little

I tried to peel the snack cakes

before I would eat.

I still do this now,

getting the thin chocolate

layer off to start.

No one understands

that Swiss Cake Rolls were meant to

be eaten this way.

Zebra Cakes, a rare

treat, are always delicious,

more than remembered.

More rare than those are

the Christmas trees; once a year

is never enough.

But, oh, the sublime,

soft, sweetness of the special

oatmeal pies; divine!

My favorite treat

would appear in my lunch box

just often enough

To spark my wishes

and make me yearn for the sweet,

oh-so delicious

Cakes.  Swiss Rolls, Trees, or

Oatmeal pies, doesn’t matter,

Little Debbie rocks!
