On the feast of Saint Paul and Saint Pete
I'm joyfully feeling replete
with absence of sin
(I've been to the bin)
and chocolate cake* oh-so-sweet!
*In fact it's a cobbler, but "chocolate-cherry cobbler" hardly scans.  I auditioned variations like "choc-cherry grunt oh-so-sweet." This one was a serious contender, and I needed two, um, "curtain calls," to make up my mind.  (No, I'm still using that plate, thanks.)  I suppose it works metrically, but not sufficiently aesthetically -- or at least, the words aren't aesthetical.  The reality, on the other hand, is quite aesthetical, if I do say so myself.
