Recipe Gone Wrong
I was in the mood for baking
With recipe book in hand
Instructions for a cake were found
I couldn't wait to start
Lining up all my ingredients
To reach them when they're needed
One by one the contents added
I think I'm ready to stir the bowl
Just then my neighbour came to the door
We chatted for what seemed like hours
We had so much to catch up on
I for got about the cake
I put the batter into the oven
Setting the timer for forty minutes
Anticipation kept me waiting
For the cake to be done
The oven beeped, I opened the door
Only to discover a giant liquid mess
I realized I forgot an important ingredient
The flour,it was missing
Instead of being angry
Laughter burst out of me
Better to laugh insteas of crying
Not all recipes turn out right
