Poem
" The oven is set on three hundred and fifty degrees; the box of the Pillsbury Yellow cake is still unopened, for George's sake, the kids are in the living room munching on cheese, who's going to make the perfect batter for Ricky's birthday cake? " " If no one volunteers, turn off your iPods and put them away and come to the kitchen to give a hand...isn't it somebody's birthday? It would be nice to see one use the mixer, the other greasing the pan... how many of your friends have you invited? I hope not more than ten! " And giggling they exchange words, thinking I don't hear their whispering; I was a teen once and know how they think, but today they won't be laughing! Hurry, bake the yellow cake...we have only two hours left, they'll be coming soon! " Mary set the table, everything must look fantastic! No, don't lick the spoon! The door suddenly opens...twenty five teens come into view and say, " Surprise! " Hundred of small balloons are released from their hands...their thrill rises. " Good Heavens! Who are these kids with faces painted like circus clowns? " Have you asked them to attend this party? Where are the real guests? " Silence filled the aroma-filled kitchen as they looked downward with embarrassment, " Are they here to crush your birthday party, Ricky...if they are they will get a taste of my dough roller right now! " No, mom...they want to throw my birthday cake into my face! " " Have they told you so? Wait here, Ricky...I'll think of a trick." " Hi, cuties...are you ready to have a cake fight? " Yeah, " was their answer. " Let's do it...do you want to hear a big mommy's laughter when your eyes will burn? " The smallest one in the group yelled, " The birthday cake had better taste good or your red face will turn yellow! " " Little rascal, you'll churn like butter! " In a second the whole house became a battleground... they hurled cupcakes, cookies and candies, but they had forgotten about the cake in the oven. Smoke came out of their ears and noses... mom laughed when they ran outside as if they had seen a real ghost, " Run for your lives before my dog attacks! "
