An Ode to the Trillionaire Cupcake

By Elizabeth Walters

My feet were tired and my soul was astray, But in the distance, I saw a shining ray

A sweet haven on Gloucester Road I had found, A Tesco, where baked goods were abound

I wander through the aisles, my eyes aglow, my heart fills with joy, my pace begins to slow.

A sweet reward for the day’s wear and tear, I met the Trillionaire Cupcake in a stare

A feast for the senses; a heavenly sight A true indulgence that brought me delight

Every bite, a heavenly dream

With its rich, chocolate sponge Topped with caramel and buttercream

A sensation that leaves me wanting more. A dessert that left no bore

It dazzled with golden shine, Every bite a journey of pleasure divine; And a true masterpiece of a grocery bakery line.

It is the crown jewel of late night treats; A delicacy that simply cannot be beat.

It is gone now, a mere 4,000 miles away But the memories, I will not dismiss It was a cupcake that brought me pure bliss

-Elizabeth did ride the new Elizabeth line while in London, and has claimed it as her favorite tube line!!

-A stranger drew a picture of her on the tube!
