A Trifle

I have always seen a "trifle" as having many layers much like society really. The cream is at the top and many swim around in the jelly, absorbing the problems of being at the lower end of life,struggling because of the utter selfishness of those who do not think or care.

The Sponge which soaks up the jelly, is the souls who work hard and never get a chance, but always the Sponge tries to help.

Then, we have the jelly, which encompasses the sponge and traps it so it may not move on.

We can add a little bit of healthy fruit in here, but it is already heading towards the next layer, not wanting to be associated with either the sponge or jelly.

Let us now add the middle layer of custard, as we begin to leave the poor sponge entrapped in the jelly.  Sweet and delicious as it is, we forget about the bottom layers; the trifle gets tastier as we move upwards.

Add a spreading of double whipped cream, and all is now forgotten ; a few sprinkles and there is your trifle.

I went off  trifle a long time ago.
