how many licks it takes to get to the center of anything

So sweet take heed, all sweets are hard to get.
When Once in friendship's fabled advice
And counsel given to partners in crime,
I found recommendation or device
So important as to force into rhyme;
To swallow each taste and savor hard sweets
No matter what center to licks you can bite;
Sweet, take heed, all sweets are hard to get; eats
Only to let it melt slowly despite
All haste and impatience: that's what I'd urge,
Devoid of urgency, slowly and steadily
Winning each race in the press of the surge,
Biting down on its catch only when ready.
A masticated world lives all in paste,
Ruminates silent in puddles of taste.
