Oh, Crumbs

I'm thinking of making a cake.
     Oh, yes?
And I have ingredients, I do!
     Sounds good.
They'll love my cake, oh yes, they will.
     I'm sure they will, but . . .
I have a special recipe, see?
     Sounds good, but . . .
Once they've eaten that cake, you see -
     Hmm?
- they'll be happy, oh so happy!
     You mean . . .?
Oh yes, oh yes. I've grown that stuff.
     That stuff?
It's green, you see, it's green and dry.
     OK, OK, I'll give it a try.
You'll enjoy. You'll enjoy. Oh, you will enjoy.
     I'll feel a great euphoria? No doubt.
But you haven't tried it yet.
     Hmm.
