The Muffin Wanderer

The muffin man does leave before he comes,

And wishing to return from where he’s fled,

He pictures clear a trail of fallen crumbs

To follow back bearing a loaf of bread.

His face, against the oven window pressed,

Does know it only waits one moment more.

Then, knife in hand, he makes his final test

By pushing toward a hidden, sweetened core.

Tonight he’s sure the top is rightly browned,

So he may give a gift and win a heart.

Without any words, or even a sound,

He’ll hand her the bread and quickly depart.

For the muffin man is simply untrue,

And I may be him and she may be you.
