Replying to a comment on:
brain cookies (Free verse) by nentwined
Prithee tell--what makes a cookie
sumptuous as the mildewed air,
and spongy as a forgotten mattress
used by lovers now long past
their bed-by date
(for all but a daring few)
Know it well? A crazed confection,
dusted lightly with crumbled cranium;
a zombie treat, they come for BRAIINZZZZ
and stay for the obvious pains
taken in the elegant preparation--
down to the very mode of serving:
in severed torso
(half-shell if you will)
Now the hard sell: you've caught us
in flagrante delecto--these cadaverous cookies
elevate themselves above the pale
rotting, misbegotten and forgotten dead;
of course, any chef worth their trade samples
their goods, so you must pick your fate:
sample of your own free will or
we'll hook you some other way
(perhaps some zombie pate?)
