Left Overs

Enjoy this little snippet - a recent dilemma of mine.

Oh! The remnants of the season - 

Left to linger without reason.

I am not fool enough to extend their reaches

to the sparkling Spring or Summer's bright beaches

But what to do with these glorious canes of red and white

Than to indulge in delicious delight?

So I shove down one by one - 

licking and crunching until I'm done.

I care not for disciplined discretion in this case

Only for the sweetness and the brilliance of gluttonous taste.

And I assume it will be said that I died happy

Because I overdosed on Christmas candy.
