Bake a Cake

Bake a Cake

Go ahead and crack an egg,
Mother Patsy and daughter Meg,
Could just not get it right,
It would, crash, splash with might,
On Grandpa’s wooden leg!

So Meg and her mum,
Decided to give grandpa rum,
So he wouldn’t be in the way,
They broke more eggs from a tray,
Finally they made a cake that was yum!

Grandpa woke up and ate the cake,
He thought it was great,
But got a pain in his tum,
Meg and mom called nine one one,
And then they continued to bake!

LOL, LOL! Was it the Cake or the Rum mixed with the Cake that gave Grandpa a tummy ache. Kim

Hi Lindsay, quite a crazy little family I agree but I guess that is why we all enjoy writing a limerick. Glad you got a giggle out of it! Best regards, Jennifer.
