(Poem 350 for 2024 – I am writing a poem a day)

Strawberry Shortcake
was such a lovely girl
who lived in Strawberryland
and rode a pink bicycle.

Her kitty cat Custard
and friends Lemon Meringue
Blueberry Muffin
Angel Cake
Apple Dumplin’
Butter Cookie
Mint Tulip
Lime Chiffon
Raspberry Tart
Café Ole
Plum Puddin’
Tea Blossom
and Huckleberry Pie
always had her back.

And that smell,
oh, that delectable
Strawberry Shortcake
delicious scent,
the aroma of childhood
for a sliver of children
born in the 70s
early 80s.
