On My Doorstep

By bwhere

To Bettys

I'm one of their regulars in York.
Not Ilkley or Harrogate.

They have the best of everything.
Breads, cakes, even more ...
Liveried assistants,
Marquetried décor.

I queue then say my piece:
"My usual, please.
A Swiss Cheese loaf (with Chives),
Two seasonal quiches,
But not the macaroon (for my wife)."

"I need to blip. Something special.
Something just right.
That orange cheesecake!
I see it, bathed in light!?"
