Sense Sonnet - Tickler

 Just Desserts

At a party, a dessert bar

Serving scrumptious ice cream and cake.

Of course the wife thought it bizarre

At all the trips there I would make.

The wife did not like desserts so

I expected harsh words from her

As for repeat trips I did go,

Knowing I'd hear her scorn for sure,

"That's the fifth trip that you have made."

"You should be so embarrassed by"

"Such gluttony." The wife's tirade

Bothered me not. I told her why,

"Embarrassing me, just not true,"

"Because I told them it's for you."
