Gershon Wolf Poet Rhyme

No Snake In the Cake

When it comes to baking a cake
Make sure not to put in a snake
   Unless, of course, it's a fake
   By that, I mean, the snake

For if the snake's made out of plastic
You dare not feed it to anyone spastic
   Unless, of course, it's elastic
   By that, I mean, the plastic

While if it's made out of rubber
It's a delicacy for a landlubber
   Unless, of course, it's flubber
   By that, I mean, the rubber

Oh, and if it's made out of tin
It can only be eaten by Gunga Din
   Unless, of course, it reeks of gin
   By that, I mean, the tin

These instructions are not meant to confuse you
I just wrote them in order to amuse you
   Unless, of course, I a-mused you
   In which case, I hereby excuse you...
       G'bye!  So long!  (Gong!)

Jan Allison December 22, 2018 at 7:35 PM remind me not to eat cake if we ever meet Gershon lol, very witty my friend I think this will appeal to Caren's sense of humour:-) hugs Jan Gershon Wolf December 22, 2018 at 9:24 PM Thank you for the compliments, Jan...although this cake will have a tough time up against Tony the fish. Enjoyed your entry so much! Best wishes, Gershon
