Ruby Red Parsley

We were happy and depressed
When we shared that pint
Of double chocolate mocha
Covered in diamonds
With a neon pink African elephant
Like Rosh Hashannah in December
Watching a black pug eat ruby red parsley
Sitting in a golden silver of sparkling moonlight
Her bubble gum tongue hanging out
