A Poem About Flan


Fortunately for most people, I should wonder, God invented this rather
Luxurious dessert.
A treat, for it most undoubtably is a treat,
Never should it be used in place of bath salts.
Istanbulian flan is rather
Sweet with a crumbly outer layer.
Norwegian flan,
On the other hand,
Tastes disgusting.
A terrible culinary mistake.
German flan is
Often thought to be a cause of migraines.
Other causes might include Oom-pah bands, always causing
Disturbances.
Sultans, prophets
And priests are fans of this often forgotten Sunday dessert,
Neglected and forgotten about in favour of
Dorchester blue and crackers,
Which leads me nicely
Into a line about
Cheeses from around the world, including
Huddersfield.
Final stanza about flan.
I don’t want to
Leave anything out. 
Let me leave you with one thing
Everyone should come to
Realise: Flan is not a good sandwich filler.
