Mmmm

Donut Day 

Really?

Before I could laugh at

the ridiculous idea

of Donut Day,

I stumbled across the reason

 Americans introduced

National Donut Day. 

 It was a fundraiser,

 introduced in 1938

to raise money for

the Chicago Salvation Army. 

The raised money was used

 to support people

during the Great Depression

and to honour the women

who handed out donuts

during World War One

to the soldiers in France. 

 I’m a fan of donut day now! 

 (Though I still like to spell

donut this way: doughnut!)
