while on the go.
I resemble
the letter O.
Despite my hole,
I do not leak.
Through my middle
you can peek.
I am eaten plain
or drizzled with icing.
Either way
I'm quite enticing.
Topped with sprinkles
or chopped nuts.
I've been known
to cause big butts.
Who Am I?
(Spoiler: Happy National Doughnut Day!)

LOL. The big butts made me laugh. Happy National Donut Day. What a fun poem. I'm sure Hanson Gregory would eat it up. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Jama! Yes, Hanson would know the answer immediately! =)
DeleteExcellent, Bridget! I like it all, but I think my special favorite may be the second stanza.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Tabatha! =)
DeleteHA!! I was going with Cheerios until that last stanza!!
ReplyDeleteCheerios are fun to peek through! Good guess, Mary Lee! =)
DeleteThis is hilarious. I love the quick rhythm and rhyme--it feels like breakfast on the go!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Liz! Luckily the poetry version is fat/calorie free! =)
DeleteWhy does all the good stuff cause big butts, that's what I want to know! My hubby and I had a big chuckle over this one, Bridget. (I'll take mine with custard, please.)
ReplyDeleteI want to know that too, Michelle! Glad you and your husband enjoyed this sugar-free "treat". =)
DeleteThis made me laugh out loud, Bridget! LOVE it! Thanks for sharing this. I need a donut!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Becky! A donut sounds good right about now...or anytime really. =)
DeleteI haven't had a doughnut in years... no sugar, no gluten, no doughnut. Sigh.
ReplyDeleteIt was still a cute poem, though!
Oh no, Donna! Both my response to your comment and my longing for a doughnut have disappeared. =)
