The Banana Split

Strawberry--the starting point:

Sweet and sensational,

With small chunks of fruit

Smoothing out the taste...

Safe...

Vanilla, covered in fudge 

Velvety and voracious

So plain, but vital to the mix

Vapid in its plainness

Victorious...

Chocolate--the cherry on top

Complex and complete

A careful embrace of taste-buds,

Carefree and delightfully refreshing,

Comforting.
