Romeo Naces Poet Tail-rhyme

Piece of Cake

When teacher asked what exasperation meant,
    I thought that was  so easy, a piece of cake,
        but that was a presumptuous mistake;

I'm still unconvinced and quite dissatisfied
   after looking it up in thick dictionaries
       for the sense it's supposed to make;

I found out lately it's simply how you'd feel
   when you want to swat a fly in exchange
      for something too difficult to take;

the sly fly won't budge for it's happily perched
   upon a red, luscious cherry right there
      at the center of your birthday cake !
