Mmm Cake

jenny1959

I'm shopping in the town

near my favourite cake shop

I need a sugar fix

so I’ll really have to stop

 

I’m having friends to tea,

so I think it’s only fair

To buy my friend Patricia,

a nice chocolate eclair

 

Connie loves a cake

and it’s always lots of fun

Watching her dissect

a pink-coated iced bun

 

Alice will be coming

and she’ll bring her sister Pam

They both like nothing better,

than a doughnut filled with jam

 

A Battenberg of pink and yellow

is one of Carol's favourite cakes

She divides the squares into four,

oh what a mess she makes

 

A nice Victoria Sponge

is Jess's favourite cake

But the ones in the shop aren’t as good

as the ones her Grandma used to make

 

Wendy is quite partial

to a round, plump Eccles cake

Filled with currants and buttery filling

They're messy when the pastry starts to flake

 

The cakes are on the cake-stand,

it’s quite a sight to see

I’m trying to cut down my sugar intake

But they look really tempting to me

 

My friends are choosing their favourite cake

But I don't think I’ll risk it

I'll just sit and watch them, with a nice cup of tea

And a nice modest Digestive biscuit
