I think God was surely at his most supreme
When he created strawberries and cream.
It's not of diamonds and gold that I dream,
No, it's all I can eat of strawberries and cream.

It's my favorite treat and I'm wondering now,
Did first come the berries and then come the cow?
However the order, they make a great team,
Those sun drenched strawberries and rich Jersey cream.

My mouth starts to water, my eyes start to gleam
Whenever I think of strawberries and cream.
I'll hold my sweet darling in highest esteem
If he but provides me strawberries and cream.

Thank you Rich Pa.  It's just a simple little ditty about one of the simple pleasures of this living business.  Joyce

Joyce:  I have to agree this is a supreme treat, but fresh raspberries and cream have the same effect for me! Cute poem.

A very tasteful treat you've given us here- I like the cosy feel of it. You've done very we'll for the cause of Strabeeries & Cream.

P.S. The Biblical order of Creation as given in Genesis would surely indicate the Strawberries cam first, even as it does in your title.  

Every Day's a Blessing
And Gift-Wrapped from Above,
Share it with another
And Spread the Father's Love!!!

May You come to Know His Best Blessing

Joyce~
My goodness ... between the strawberries, cream,
peaches and raspberries~
I'm having a pig-out moment !

YUM !  YUM !

Don't really care which came first
I'll eat so much
I'll surely burst !  

Delightful fun !

Really enjoyed your poem, I am off to find some strawberry yoghurt, it is the closest thing I can get to Stawberries and Cream right now.
