Earl Grey Creme Brûlée,
First at GABS and now in cans,
Creamy treat for end of day.
Get it – quickly – in your hands!
Artwork – from a hot new game –
By the great Sandara Tang,
Like a dragon spitting flame,
Cute and small, with tiny fang.
Smells like things you love to eat:
Marshmallow, all gooey soft
Butterscotch, all sticky sweet.
Pannacotta, just a waft.
When it’s time to take a chug
Takes you back when you were young:
Drinking custard from the jug
Thick and creamy on your tongue.
Rich vanilla all around;
Earl Grey tea, not strong as such.
Voice like syrup, soothing sound,
Florals come through just a touch.
Faster than a speeding horse,
Imagination runs with haste:
Like bathing in caramel sauce;
Like how butterbeer would taste.
Wherever you drink this delight:
Festival, at breakneck pace,
Or during quiet board game night,
It’s a dessert smashed in your face.
