Grodd write new poem
Grodd not happy
Dunkin Donuts to blame
They don't carry cream-filled
Reason why Grodd came
Grodd order glazed one
Glazed one not as good
No cream-filled
Grodd move out of neighborhood

Oh Grodd you grumpy sod
you are never satisfied
I think you should move out for sure
if you don't like your donuts pure
and want the cream inside
Cream filled donuts ain't for dunkin'
shut your mouth and put less junk in

I have often wondered why they call them donuts. I mean, other than the chocolate ones with the nuts sprinkled on top, there really are not a lot of nuts on donuts. I can understand the "do" part but what about the nuts? Who gave them this crazy name? What happened to all the nuts? I bet the original donuts had lots of nuts. Cashews, Peanuts, Pecans etc. But todays donuts should have a name change to something like dosugar, docream, or dojelly. At least, that's the way I see it. I know, I know, I am strange. Always have been so I am not ashamed to be strange.
Much Respect

Record shows that the Dutch were making olykoeks, or “oil cakes,” as early as the mid 19th century. These early doughnuts were simply balls of cake fried in pork fat until golden brown. Because the center of the cake did not cook as fast as the outside, the cakes were sometimes stuffed with fruit, nuts, or other fillings that did not require cooking.
As Dutch immigrants began to settle in the United States, they continued to make their olykoeks, where they were influenced by other cultures continued to morph into what we call doughnuts today.
The Name “Doughnut”
The origin of the name “doughnut” is also highly debated. Some say it refers to the nuts that were placed inside of the ball of dough to prevent the uncooked center while others claim it refers to “dough knots” which were another popular shape for the olykoeks.
The first written record of the word “doughnut” is in Washington Irving’s 1809 publication, A History of New York. By the early 1900’s, many had shortened the word to “donut.” Today, “doughnut” and “donut” are used interchangeably in the English language.

Up til week ago, Grodd never see Dunkin Donuts without cream-filled donuts. Man at counter says they can only carry so many choices. Grodd bummed.
