Spunky Dunkers Delight
Pulled off the road for gas, just a pit stop in the night,
Across the street a glowing sign—donuts, 24-hour delight.
Nine treats for seventeen and change, what a sweet surprise,
I watched the baker shaping dough, fresh magic before my eyes.
At nine o’clock, the fryer hummed, still working late and true,
Each bite was crisp yet tender, with no oily film to rue.
I meant to snap a picture first, but taste got in the way,
Half the box was gone before my phone could have its say.
The blueberry stuffed with cream cheese—my favorite by far,
A hidden burst of tangy sweet, a shining donut star.
Every ring was fried just right, golden, airy, light,
Spunky Dunkers, what a find, a highway gem at night.
