I am devastated. Wounded. Cut to the core. I question my very being…

We all deal with loss in our own way, but today I have to share mine.

I read in the newspaper yesterday that the single, solitary Krispy Kreme doughnut shop has closed their doors here in Calgary. Never mind me, what will the local police force do – how will THEY survive this tragic turn of events??

I know – we still have Tim Horton’s and Starbucks (which now sells doughnuts as well as biscotti biscuits that a person could use as roofing shingles). But no longer will we be able to walk in when that glowing neon sign is illuminated on the Krispy Kreme store, indicating fresh doughnuts are just rolling off the assembly line. What’s next? Barry Manilow retiring?

A man can only bear so much suffering…

An Ode To A Doughnut (A Krispy Kreme Doughnut):

Oh, glistening, honey-glazed delight,
Your round perfection, a tantalizing sight.

Warm from the conveyor belt, I take a bite,
My knees buckle, it’s pure delight.

There may be other doughnuts, but for me you are the one,
Now, you’ll be gone, like the night takes the sun.

Cruel fate may have taken you away from us,
But when we go, there’s a Krispy Kreme in Vegas!!

Chow for now!!
