My Dearest Graham,

Pre-order now and avoid those long lines
that are causing many students to sport lab goggles with their outfits

Deep, dense, dark, and delicious,

the spot for a working lunch, cheap date, fancy dinner movie, baseball game, dental appointment, car wash and dozens
of friday nigh jamborees,
flannel friday presenting the final friday.
This is your opportunity to tell us,
150 individuals to register because soon,
the now sparse shelves will be stocked with a different kind of merchandise.

get your ears full and your bodies moving,
get down with the black twig pickers.
Triple layer triumph of melted Belgian milk,
each moist rich layer floats on a cloud.
“I love you” with every bite.
I’m afraid that would get me in trouble with my friends, readers and advertisers.
