I love vanilla, because it's all that.
Perhaps the best ice cream mankind begat.
What is it that makes it beyond compare?
So sweet and creamy; delightful to share.
Flavors distinctive, yet subtle, refined.
Pleases the connoisseur, and those inclined.
Vanilla does quite well all on its own,
but as companion its true virtue's shown.
Served with some cake or a hot slice of pie,
the result is a most contented sigh.
