Carmel Sauce

Just a little more perhaps
Of salted caramel
Dripped upon my ice cream
Would go down very well

I know I shouldn’t, but can’t resist
That sweet and tasty treat
And when it’s done, I can’t restrain
And just may have a repeat

I know it isn’t good for me
At least not physically
But wonders for holiday mood
Taste buds most distinctly

So when talking to a friend that’s down
With sadness overwhelming
A bit of caramel on ice cream
Makes troubles seem like nothing

That one is for you, Julie.
