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

It is a rare condition from which not many of us suffer. Thanks for your comment, Becca.

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.

Good one! I enjoyed it with my daily ice cream and cake. No worries about me being fat deficient. BG
