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 !
