A Sourdough Sonnet
/Beware the Beast in your Yeast
————
The Cookie Man appeared each Halloween
and joined the children seeking tricks or treats;
long after dark, he’d shadow every teen
once little tykes and parents left the streets.
A gourmet who preferred a strange cuisine,
he never longed for candy bars or sweets;
instead, he favored teenage skin and spleen
and always got his fill of their sweetmeats.
Yet if their mothers didn’t make the dough
so sour, then their fates would not be so.
