EN PLEIN AIR

EN PLEIN AIR

I jumped out of bed – I was wide awake

and decided I would make a cake

and despite the weather – what did I care?

I decided to make it en plein air.

I mixed the ingredients

enjoying the experience

but soon the rain decided to fall

and spoiled the mixture I recall.

I thought some rude words left better unsaid

rolled up my sleeves and made gravy instead.
