I Like To Bake

I LIKE TO BAKE Lord, you know I like to bake, That velvety rich chocolate cake, Covered with icing, I never stop, Until chocolate curls adorns the top. Lord, you know I like to bake, Custard slices and biscuits make, With fruit, nuts and choc. chips, Though they linger on my hips. Lord, you know I like to bake, (I say it's for my family's sake), Apple pies and cheesecake too, With dumplings in the Irish stew. Lord, you know I like to bake, But need to curb my intake, Pavlova, a delicious sugary fluff, I never seem to have enough. Lord, you know I like to bake, But cholesterol pills I now take, These words I must never utter, "Please pass me cream and butter". Lord, a special favour I shall ask, It would only be a simple task, You who changed water into wine, Dissolve those calories when I dine! Copyright © July 2013 Vivien Wade ,
