Bake a Cake Nursery Rhyme

It was my turn to bake a cake I followed instructions without mistake Two cups of flour were the base Flowers in two cups I put in its place Next I added sugar and mixed it in for taste Three eggs broken, I added one extra just in case A blob of butter ran on the floor which I had to chase I caught it half way, and added it into the paste! With all the mixing I had most of the batter on my face Some landed inside my mouth, Yucky it was to taste I ran to the bin and spat it out in haste! 10.4.2021 Sponsor: Eve Roper Contest: Nursery Rhyme 4

Your “Bake a Cake” is hilarious Carol, the image of flowers used as the base, one can envisage the taste. Congratulations on your well deserved win ~ Belle :-)
