Another rainy day, I’m stuck inside the house as I can’t play outside when it’s pouring So I must creep round as quiet as a mouse because on the sofa I hear daddy snoring! Today it’s my daddy’s birthday Mummy and I we love to bake Outside it’s too wet for me to play So we will make daddy a big birthday cake We pop the sponge tins in the oven Mummy lets me lick the spoon The finished cake will feed a dozen Oh I hope the cake is ready soon! The rain is falling from the sky I know our garden needs a drink When the sun comes out the ground will dry I’m going to help mummy wash the dishes in the sink We cover the cake in icing; it looks so nice My teddy joins us at the table for tea I ask mummy if teddy can have a big slice - but it will really end up inside MY tummy! At last the sun begins to shine And daddy takes me out to play Daddy said his birthday cake was divine I have really enjoyed my rainy day! Form R Contest Sponsored by Broken Wings 06-29-17

Oh yes Matthew I love to bake but have had to cut back as my hubby has diabetes and I don't have a machine to do it I use the 'armstrong' method lol:-) hugs jan xx

Jan Allison

Thanks so much ^WW^ I hope I've not deviated from 'rainy' too much - we have had torrential rain and heavy rain for days so I know the stuck indoors feeling well this week - I have baked flapjacks and hubby does snore on the sofa but the rest is pure poetic licence ... i think mine is due to expire any day now lol:-) hugs Jan xx

This is a wonderful poem, Jan, will do very well. My mom never made any sweets, even now at 84 still won't , so I never got to lick the spoon...

Jan Allison
Date: 6/29/2017 4:14:00 PM

aww Eve I used to love baking with my mum and it was a treat to lick the spoon - you need to do the baking and lick the spoon lol go on your know you want to!:-) hugs jan xx

I had such fun writing the poem Chris. I'm not sure what Constance is after with the 'rainy' theme but I have to go with my muse and was really pleased with the way the poem turned out in the end:-) hugs Jan xx

I always liked licking the spoon, the bowl and the beaters:) Privilege of being the youngest. Sweet write, Jan.

Jan Allison
Date: 6/29/2017 10:22:00 AM

Scraping the bowl and licking the spoon - oh what childhood memories Daniel. I guess i went out on a limb with the rainy theme but I had such fun writing this:-) hugs Jan xx

This is a delightful subject for the contest Jan; makes me yearn for a slice too! G/L in the contest! hugs~Che :)

I rarely bake cakes now as my husband is diabetic but I do make scones and sugar free flapjacks for him. My favourite recipe is chocolate brownies made with almonds instead of flour but I can't remember the last time I made them - I need my son to come home and I will make some as he adores them (and so do I!!!) hugs Jan xx

This one I lived on my last visit with my little one. You know it's love when you hand off the licking spoon. lol Good rhyming, Jan.

Jan Allison
Date: 6/29/2017 10:28:00 AM

aww Lin I can imagine the fun you have with your lovely grandson:-) I really enjoyed writing this, it may be a little off the 'rainy' theme so i hope Constance likes my interpretation:-) hugs Jan xx
