Jailbreak Cake

We whisked up a plot in a mixing bowl
A getaway scheme with a sugar soul
A cake so slick it could rock and roll
Baked for a birthday out of control

We folded in flour with a secret plan
A covert swirl only we could scan 
Not a saw blade…nah…but a steel pan fan
Spinning like a rhythm in a marching band

We iced it thick with a coded glaze
Frosting that hid our exiting ways
Candles flickered like getaway rays
Lighting up paths through the maze

We sliced that cake with a rhyme made key
The layers unlocked like a mystery
Chocolate doors swung open free
We slipped out smooth as poetry

A birthday treat with a jailbreak twist
Our sweet escape wrapped in a sugar mist
A rhyme lined route we couldn’t resist 
Freedom baked fresh in every tryst
