Gluten-free with the heat\u2014know exactly what I mean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Buffalo drip with pepperoni on it,
Spicy sausage piled high\u2014yeah, I wanted all of it.
Jalape\u00f1os bring the pain with a bite so mean,
Ate the cheese, skipped the crust\u2014kept it light, kept it lean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Every bite full of flavor\u2014no stress, just bliss,

Tried cookie dough late\u2014yeah, dessert that night,
Kept the ice cream separate\u2014yeah, the move felt right.
Small scoop, low boost\u2014wasn\u2019t much to enjoy,
Still smooth, still cool\u2014just a minor void.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Time flew, we grew with the laughs we made,
Hour and a half at the table\u2014yeah, the time just stayed.
Mom waiting on the bill, standing still,
Ten more minutes frozen\u2014yeah, that wait was real.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Felt long, dragged on\u2014yeah, I\u2019ll be straight,
Might skip that spot next time\u2014not my favorite place.
But it\u2019s fine, good vibes still carried the day,
Shift lanes, new phase\u2014let the night replay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fettuccine creamy, dreamy\u2014flavor took flight,
Every single bite just hit\u2014yeah, it felt so right.
