The sky is a milk dish

the whiskery trees brush against,

but this once frothy treat

has been taken away;

I can’t digest the luxury.

Almond and soy kill the joy.

Despite the irresistible taste,

a sugary, high-fat Sunday

is not good for the gut

or the waist.

  2. With you, K. F., on almond and soy killing the joy. Those whiskery trees and milk-dish sky should be some barista’s artwork resting on a bed of super-creamy dairy froth!
