Ode To Croissant

Ode To Croissant

O’ my beloved Croissant, 
Your beauty, grace full of permanent taunt, 
Croissant's silken surface, 
Your crunch fulfills my life purpose.

O’ my delicate Croissant, 
Your skeleton strung like a spider web. 
Your thousand layers you flaunt. 
How is it you weigh me down – 
Like elephantine lead?

O’ my powerful Croissant,
A hundred Saber Soldiers' lives you haunt. 
Viennoiserie calling you pretty,
Celebrates your Siege of City.

O’ my delicious Croissant, 
My life without you is endless sorrow. 
Without your butter bread chaunt –
Leaping flavors like lava, 
Dreaming till tomorrow.

O’ my versatile Croissant, 
Chameleon crescents a million jaunts, 
Infinite spreads you detain, 
A world without you lasting vain.
