Never underestimate the power 
of having it plain. 
A smile and a knowing 
twinkle looking through 
glass domes to a world 
of decadent fancy. 
Framboise soaked, cloud-topped 
nonsense and at what cost? 
Experience pays at the checkout. 
I know what I like. 
Sharing a delicious moment; 
these swirly cup-cakes are 
all top show...nice to look at 
but the sponge is nothing 
to write home about... 
no matter what's sparkling on top. 
I like mine with custard on 
she confided; 
and I'll never know her name 
but I know her most guilty pleasure.

Madeira, my dear.
