Le Durts—by Bhim Pandya

 

 

Is It a sweething I just had had?

Or a delicate delicacy I had had?

 

Dusted with sugar and mixed in butter

I would think of its name and sweetly stutter

 

Thinking about the wondrous conflicts and clashes

The back and forth mind boggling marches

 

Lost in the void I was in of  conflicta
It appeared before me, like a deus ex machina

 

Bringing the flood of tasty expectations

Neutralizing the mad machinations

 

The strudel of salivary salvation…

This Poem was triggered on the day my Supervisor brought a warm Apple Strudel to work. The poem itself was presented to them as a 'thank you' note.  It was an unexpected delight for the week had been a busy one. I must say, not only is Apple Strudel one of my favorite desserts, it is also a great prop as shown in the film "Inglourious Basterds" by Quentin Tarantino.
