Destination Cakehole

All biscuits will be crumbs;
all bodies become dust.

I have seen terrible things:
countless friends
drowned to death
in steaming baths of tea
or crushed to make
the bases of cheesecakes.

I don't really want to talk about it.

*Shudders for his long gone brudders*

Now I sit on this plate
awaiting my fate.
Destination: the black hole
(dry as ancient Ryvita)
at the front of your blank face.
Or, even worse,
being tossed into the slobbering jaws
of this unruly mob of woof-woofs.

Frank Hampson's model of Lero the Crypt as featured in the Dan Dare story "The Man from Nowhere".

Lero was partial to a dark chocolate Hobnob, I believe.
