Jan Allison Poet Limerick

Notes About The Poem

Not Relishing Cake

My baker’s commissioned to bake 
A huge cow shaped iced wedding cake
The groom is a farmer
He sure is a charmer
Its design could lead to heartbreak

When the bride saw the cake how she cried
Her traditional cake was denied
She screamed at the groom
Get out of this room
Then she plunged the knife in the cow’s side

Inspired by but not for contest

Paul Callus February 10, 2017 at 3:11 PM Ha ha! For a minute I was afraid she'd have plunged the knife somewhere else!
