Friendship is like a well baked cake
As with a well baked cake,
That will not be palatable,
If one does not have a recipe to follow,
And take too may shortcuts,
A well baked friendship will need the right amount of patience,
And tastes better if you don't add any soft soap.
Friendship like a well baked cake,
Needs to be baked at the right temperature,
And if you have faith in the cooking process,
With an accurate means of timing,
And know how to cool things down,
You will not be opening the door to a half baked cake,
Or a half baked friendship.
As for the icing on the cake,
One needs to understand that some cakes,
Taste better without it,
Just as some friendships taste better,
Without extra benefits.
Most of us experience baking disasters in our lifetime,
But that does not mean we should stop baking cakes,
Or give up on looking for lasting friendship,
That come with or without the icing.
