Mac got aloha'ed off the aisle.

Vanilla ice cream with strawberries and fudge covered shortbread
A flavour so smashing -

But sadly it missed
all the fame it deserved,
A bit too much English
put into the serve.
2012-2012

Cow welfare we felt,

That nutty brittle from exotic places
Got sticky in between our braces.

Without the pompous prose
Was it nuts we chose to say so,
or was it the nuts we chose?
