Mike Gentile Poet Rhyme

Raisin Expectations Aka Her Name Is Not Sue Flay

She longed to be a baker
         Though neither thumb was white
Couldn’t rise to the occasion
        And the contest is tonight

“Listen Cupcake, don’t you fret”
         Your name is not Sue Flay
Just do your best and let
        The chocolate chips~ fall where they may

You just might win this contest
         And be rolling in the dough
It’s when you yeast expect it,
     Those creative juices flow

Kneading inspiration,
         I whispered in her ear
“You just can't roll over”
        And give up out of fear

You’re shortening your lifespan
        With silly complications
You should learn to trust yourself,
        Start raisin expectations
