Baking Poetry

I had two birthday cakes:One nut free from Tesco, yellow and sugary

One baked by a friend with purple swirls and strawberry halves

After one week living off cake and tea

I returned to work and there was cake galore from all over the world

Cinnamon swirls, rice puddings, slices with so much rum you could get drunk

When I got back I had a cheesecake to take home.

The evidence had long since gone

My tummy ached for days but

My waistline was saved by vigorous swimming and gym sessions.
