Ode to a Doughnut

Doughnut, my favorite.
How do I savor it?

Warm from the fryer,
I never will tire.

Your sweet melting frosting
And low rate of costing.

I’m warned you’re not healthy
But with you I’m wealthy.

Worry not of sugar and fat,
I don’t care if I look like my cat.

Doughnut I love you by one or thirteen.
When I have a box, I feel like a queen.

I welcome the day when you are in it.
You are so delicious but gone in a minute.
