When that which one has most desired
has cooled to point of frost
Perhaps what has in truth expired's
the will to pay the cost
Possesion of the sweetest fruit
may constitute despair
If one by paying small tribute
treats it as table fare
Though words won't serve to bring it back
they may help to procure
A feast instead of meager snack
that holds but scant allure
And thus prepare a fine desert
made fresh or so would seem
The effort one cares to exert
may make superb ice-cream

Yo Doc!

Us Stuters have been looking all over the Pub for ya, and here I find you in the kitchen making these fine deserts.  Very tasty! I can see you've put some serious effort into this delicacy.  Perhaps you might wish to share your culinary art with the rest of the gang around the Corner.  Hope to see you there.  Oh... can ya hand me that can of liquid paraffin from under the sink?  Thanks... I've got the bartender mixing some real mind blowers.  Don't forget now... wink wink, nudge nudge, know what I mean...  We'll see ya there, chummer.
