Donuts - Barry Louis Polisar

Tomatoes from the garden are a summer treat

But it’s a donut that I wanna eat

Put 'em in your salad, put 'em in your stew

Heat 'em and eat 'em with your barbecue

Honey glazed or filled with jelly

Gives life meaning as it fills your belly

But be careful 'cause I swear that it’ll

Give you a bulge right in your middle

Just like life, so round and sweet;

Eat too many, it’ll settle in your seat

Don’t feel sad or insecure;

Ain’t nothing in the world that a donut won’t cure

Eat 'em with your meat loaf, eat 'em with your greens

Eat 'em with your brocolli, eat 'em with your beans

Matzo balls and chicken broth can help you through the croup

But I’d rather have a donut floatin' in my soup

Take em from the freezer;

fry 'em on a griddle

When the sugar melts, stick ice cream in the middle
