I wasn’t planning to write a second limerick about the cream cheese shortage, but here goes:
Buy a cream cheese-topped bagel? I’m able.
One is sitting right here on my table.
Yes, it took some inveigling
And lots of finagling…
This tale (I’ll confess) is a fable.
(Here’s my first cream cheese shortage limerick.)
Oy! Cream cheese is the latest NYC supply chain casualty! What’s a bagel shop to do?
A shortage of cream cheese? That’s bad!
Naked bagels are terribly sad!
You’ll use butter instead?
Are you nuts? Lost your head?
Cream cheese schmears are essential, you cad!
