Nobake

In the town of Nobake
Time congeals
Like a peach pie filling from a can

Hours come and go
In assorted colors
No experience necessary

For your convenience
Days are prepackaged
No measuring required

Mix and serve
But first let’s clean up
So there are no surprises

No one walks away
From the dessert table
Before the expiration date

One tried
And got burned
