Warren Dickman Poet Lyric

For the Love of Cake

WHAT'S THAT YA SAY, YER DIETIN'?
AINCHA HEERED ABOUT OLE JAKE?
HE THOUGHT HE MIGHT COULD GIT A GAL
BY JUS' CUTTIN' BACK ON CAKE

WELL HE KEP' A-GITTIN' THINNER
TILL WE ALL BEGUN TA FEAR
IF WE DIDN'T GIT SOME CAKE IN HIM
HE'D UP 'N' DISAPPEAR 

THEY SAY A WORD SAID TA THE WISE
HAD OUGHTA BE SUFFICIENT...
DON'T GIVE UP CAKE OR JUS' LIKE JAKE
YA'LL END UP FAT DEFICIENT!

Just another Warrenpiece

Poet Destroyer A May 25, 2016 at 12:23 PM I do love it and I enjoyed this one. LINDA Warren Dickman February 8, 2024 at 8:41 AM Thanks, Linda. Seems we belong to a mutual admiration society!

Becca Teagan May 25, 2016 at 10:45 AM :) "fat deficient" lol Warren Dickman May 25, 2016 at 10:52 AM It is a rare condition from which not many of us suffer. Thanks for your comment, Becca.

Jan Allison May 22, 2016 at 5:44 PM great humour and I love the 'warrenpiece' reference at the end - very clever:-) hugs Jan xx Warren Dickman May 22, 2016 at 11:34 PM Thanks Jan. I've been using the tag-line, "Just another warrenpiece" for some time now wondering if anybody would say it out loud and get the connection. You are the first to comment on it, so I guess it isn't too subtle after-all.

Barbara Gorelick May 22, 2016 at 5:21 PM Good one! I enjoyed it with my daily ice cream and cake. No worries about me being fat deficient. BG Warren Dickman May 22, 2016 at 5:28 PM Good for you, Barb!

Jesse Day May 22, 2016 at 5:16 PM Excellent! Fun poem with a message. Love the use of hillbilly slang - creative Warren Dickman May 22, 2016 at 5:30 PM Thanks for the kind words, Jesse.
