O My Delectable Magnificent!

O my delectable magnificent!

Thou art so subtle and, in truth, divine;

Thy taste doth merely whisper peppermint

As it consumes my body and my mind.

Thou dost imposeth here upon my core,

With such a minty thinness that doth quell,

The softness of a glutton and yet more,

Though rampant want within my gut still dwells.

But whilst, at first, thou hast great quantity

And flaunt thyself to me as decadent,

In but two bites, thou hast abandoned me

And left me naught such goods as Heaven sent.

Until bereft I find the box so nice,

Which cost my purse a total dollar thrice.

This is a poem I originally wrote in free verse and have here altered it to fit the form of a traditional English sonnet.
