ODE TO MILKSHAKE

Oh milkshake of every flavour and measure,
Sweetest source of purest pleasure.
Milkshake - why the powers employ
Only to provide jubilance and joy.
I have trudged a many a mile
Though with a scintillating smile
To my favourite local store.
Sauntering through the front door,
And placed my usual order,
Only to discovered with horror
That the milkshake machine
Was not working , oh so mean!
Woe to me and my throbbing heart.
My life now with an absent part.
Oh milkshake, I adore thee, I swear.
Thee smooth the brow of my despair.
