The lack of treacle tart
Is becoming an issue
As you know Buckfast Abbey
Is well known for serving
The best treacle tart in the world!
It comes on a hot plate
With lashings of warm syrup
Poured all over the tart and the plate
Before a substantial slab of clotted cream
Is added to finish things off
During previous visits
It became a mid-afternoon ritual
After a stroll by the river or a climb up the hill
Either way the exercise
Prepared one for the indulgence
Oddly, however much I write
In the present moment
I am in no way sated
No, only the real thing will do
I will be back!
