Chocolate and Vanilla (Monday Poem)

by Sharon Draper 

 

 

Smooth vanilla ice cream,

Chocolate cake so sweet,

Delicious and enticing

for trembling lips to eat.

 

Soft vanilla pudding,

Rich chocolate pie,

A luscious combination,

Delight for tongue and eye.

 

Hot vanilla icing,

Cool chocolate cream,

Melted on each other,

A warm and sensuous dream.
