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

Indiana Shaw August 3, 2020 at 7:19 AM Your true life experiences, Darlene, are some of the best, then getting it all down on paper and sharing them with us, is the best delight of all, you err on just being human, and that is what makes you so endearing, a Gin and tonic on the way whilst you clear up the mess . . . : ) Indiana Shaw August 3, 2020 at 8:46 PM Chin, Chin, me dears . . . : ) Darlene De Beaulieu August 3, 2020 at 9:51 AM Hello Indiana Shaw,I will make you glass of Gin with Toinc. Then we will click glasses together. By then the mess will be cleaned up. Enjoy your day my friend.

Scott Thirtyseven November 23, 2016 at 6:45 AM An enjoyable story, and a very honest meaning. Make good reading. Darlene De Beaulieu November 23, 2016 at 5:14 PM Thank you Scott, I wrote this poem because this happened to me. My neighbour came to see me at the wrong time. I forgot to put in one ingredient and that is when it went wrong. I had a good laugh about the whole thing.
