I wanted to get this one out of the way before I start in earnest on the editing project I got late last week…
Donuts
are more or less
unassailable
They may be
easy to criticize
but they’re damn near
universal
Go to the grocery store
they’re right there
in front
almost as soon as
you walk through the door
They’re much lighter
than bagels
which, while also tasty
are sometimes
a bit too chewy
It is often pointed out
(as I pointed out earlier)
that they are sugary
and fattening
BUT
(as I also pointed out earlier)
what else
are you going to dunk
in your morning coffee?
For me
the biggest problem
with donuts
is that
once I start writing about them
I have to have one
That means
I have to
go to the grocery store…

Ordinary Average Thoughts 
Doughnuts Are Pretty Useless
If I eat a whole one, I’m left with the hole
And I never know what to do with it.
If I have another, I feel queasy.
I should eat a half, but I’d have half a whole
And half a hole too, which makes me uneasy.
What’s more, I don’t get why we call them
Dough-Nuts when nuts have no holes
Nor does dough; so I’m off them for now.
They’re useless except for making poems.
