The last bit

The last bit

A Poem by Julie McCarthy (juliespenhere)
"

Stupid I know I’m trying to write one ditty poem a day on waking to get me back I’ve been gone a bit

"
You took the last bit
The last sweet bite

The apple pie
Sweet and good

Left no remnant
Or crumb of it’s
Existing

Each apple slice
Cut so even precise
No skin left there

Each ingredient
Sugar n spice
Flavoured especially nice

Each pastry puff
Rolled out exact

The ovens on
The temp was hot 🥵

You cooked me
Perfectly the timer on

You laid me out
On floral platter

I felt the coolness
I felt the love

The table set
The spoons and cream

Serviettes and flowers
Set the eating scene

There’s only you
Why bother with this

I say as I see your tonsils
As I slid down
That slippery slide

You burp and gaze out
Frosty morn from
Window there

I peak up
at empty chair
I’m just a crumb

You get up
Holding quite a lot
Of wind in there

I the crumb fall to the ground
No you didn’t eat
the last of me

Till I see mr whiskers
Running over to me

I shut my eyes
So tight
Don’t feel a thing

As he gulps
And eats
The very last remaining thing

Thanks for the review appreciation !
Yummy
No wonder Mr. Whiskers polished you all off
Keep leaving yourself lying around and you'll get eaten every time
