NaPoWriMo Sonnet #25

Dear Congress,

Too many Americans are making love to
birthday cakes & puff pastry & citrus
I mean, I understand the need for "Variety" but
having a "threesome" w/ a tangelo in one hand &
a grapefruit in the other is just plain lugnuts --
or, if you will, consider the pastry's feelings
the tenderness of the batter, the warmth of convection
despoiled by pubic friction & the dumb grunt //
Incarcerating the offenders would only turn them to
more effective acts of courting pastry & citrus
as they would "rehabilitate" w/ hard felons who
have lemon-lime tattoos, phyllo dough tattoos //
An American, dining alone, opposite a Bundt Cake
is not an American dining alone, not anymore //

Yrs, Constituent
