I Need a New Recipe

Blueberries, bananas, and walnuts,
Five eggs, and a few cups of flour,
This dessert is easy to make,
It only takes about an hour.

A glob of butter and some sour cream,
Two cloves of garlic and mistletoe,
A handful of spinach and celery,
Four snails and a bucket of cookie dough.

The oven is heating up now,
It is up to six hundred and ten,
But I still need three spotted turtles,
And the toenails of a speckled wren.

Throw in some rice crispy treats,
And shiny blue fire crackers with a bang,
I am not sure this recipe is quite safe,
Even though it was written by Ms. Lange.

The oven is done, I shove the mess in,
Then I jumped, turned, and gave a great shout,
I had not put in the spicy Ketchup,
And all the tasty little skittles were out.

But I soon pulled my creation right out,
I smelled the air and my heart nearly sang,
But my family will not take a bite,
We'll just have to feed it to Ms. Lange!
