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
