Almonds gracing it
like beads of necklace.

An orange brown extravaganza
presented itself before us.

Our hungry eyes and
saliva ozing tongues
gazed it inappropriately!

As the triangle shaped piece
rested before me,
I shyingly took one bite
AND WHAT?

It was outbursts of flavours
hunting among themselves
to be recognized at first.

There was cinnamon, lemon,
orange with peels,
nut and raisins and fruits,
soaked in rum.

It was a Christmas party
inside my mouth.

Carols started ringing inside ears
and fragrance came out of my nostrils.

I could relish time
with swirls of my tongue
for every second
before finally gorging it.

The slurpy voices gave away
secret pleasure
which everyone was having
while hogging over the
“Dundee Cake”.
