add an extra "i": croissaints.
(i never took French.)

i make sure to eat
all the buttery flakes that
adhere to the bag.

I used to work at Food52. I'm probably the person who picked all of the cookie dough out of the cookie dough ice cream.

Pain au chocolat
On my plate at breakfast time
Only crumbs remain

Three almond-anointed shoes
Point toward the king

Which one will he choose,

Never have I been
So paralyzed by choice, as
At a pastry shop.

Oh! Scone, you lovely
pastry. Warm, crumbly, and so
good with jam and cream.

I like to bite, not
tear, into Tartine's for hot
huffs of yeasty air.

My muffin top is
all that, whole grain and low fat.
Call me Liz Lemon.
