At the pace of a snail

I crept, slipped, toddled

Eventually fell

Deep in love with you

Gliding across the ice of life

I sampled once

I sampled twice

The taste was oh so nice

I had to have a whole slice

And another

And another

And after many

Oral jogs up and down

That hard pinnacle of life

I discovered

Your red velvet piece

Kept me on my knees

Begging

Pleading

Strategically kneading

The veins of existence

With starved persistence

Though to fight it I tried

Eventually I released a surrender cry

Giving into thy

Piece de resistance
