The Wedding Cake

It is an important cake that I had to bake with out a rake so that it would be real It has a special filling that the groom himself requested and has not been tested a flavor that is also a favorite of mine no matter where I dine even with fine punch It must not even come close to being dropped nor even flipped It is a family specialty both with and with out the decorations with not one splotch not one drop of scotch although my watch seems to have been some how misplaced plus every step retraced although perhaps it’s in the van with the pans of sandy ham maybe even on the can of Pam- wherever it is I can not put down the cake to look My book when last seen was next to the cake which was nowhere near the hooks my watch may have been there too when I was using my decorating tools with out boos but wherever my watch happens to be I am grateful I have not run into any yellow bees I hope I am not late regardless of the fee because I have to make a delivery even if for free Well whatever the time even if I only get a few dimes and limes this is a special occasion so this better be the right destination regardless of instantaneous regeneration of plants with out procrastination or any kind of hesitation despite some close calls that would make it resemble the leaning tower of Italy here comes the wedding cake!
