Crumby

When you’re eating a cookie

Or pastry or cake

Or any sweet offering

Someone did bake

 

There are bound to be crumbs

On your plate left behind

(For the ones for whom finger-licks

Are too refined).

 

Though if crumbs fall from something

Delicious to taste,

It’s a shame to let tidbits

Like those go to waste.

 

Which is why I don’t get,

Since such morsels are yummy,

Why something not good

Is referred to as crummy.
