Jan Allison Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

Rainy Day Fun

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!

Winged Warrior June 30, 2017 at 5:10 AM Cake and a rainy day...what more can you ask for?...great improvising Jan...god bless...^WW^ Jan Allison June 30, 2017 at 5:23 AM 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

Eve Roper June 29, 2017 at 4:01 PM 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 June 29, 2017 at 4:14 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

Charlie Smith June 29, 2017 at 2:29 PM Sweet write Jan, looks like you had some great inspiration for this one. Jan Allison June 29, 2017 at 3:05 PM I just write whatever comes into my head and then find a pic if I can and this pic is one I found off the web Charlie:-) hugs Jan xx

Chris Green June 29, 2017 at 10:14 AM This was really cute Jan. This one brought a smile to me this morning. My favorite part is the frosting. :) Jan Allison June 29, 2017 at 10:21 AM 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

Daniel Turner June 29, 2017 at 9:43 AM I always liked licking the spoon, the bowl and the beaters:) Privilege of being the youngest. Sweet write, Jan. Jan Allison June 29, 2017 at 10:22 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

Joanna Daniel June 29, 2017 at 9:39 AM Such light hearted poetry from the point of view of a little naughty child, you're amazingly sweet, Jan:):) Jan Allison June 29, 2017 at 10:22 AM aww thanks Jo I did have fun with this poem:-) hugs Jan xx

Cheryl Hoffman June 29, 2017 at 9:26 AM This is a delightful subject for the contest Jan; makes me yearn for a slice too! G/L in the contest! hugs~Che :) Jan Allison June 29, 2017 at 10:25 AM 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

Lin Lane June 29, 2017 at 9:04 AM 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 June 29, 2017 at 10:28 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

Demetrios Trifiatis June 29, 2017 at 8:26 AM Delightful, funny and fills the heart with joy dear, Jan! Keep a slice for me, please! Good luck! Jan Allison June 29, 2017 at 10:28 AM Thanks Demetrios I really enjoyed writing this poem and hope Constance likes my take of the 'rainy' theme:-) hugs Jan xx
