Notes About The Poem

Special Thanks To Eddie Izzard givning me the idea for title.

Regretting Cake Or Death

I ate a cake in order to stay up late                                            
Seeing that I stayed up late, I ate a cake                                           
So, my darling pursued me with a broom                                   
Livid, she chased me all around the room                                    
She was taking this to the extreme. Make no mistake              
We are talking about all the pieces of the cake                           
I tried apologizing. The timing was too soon                                
My body is suffering from a serious wound                                  
"But Cupcake, I know how to make another cake”             
With big tears in her eyes, that was my lifesaving break            
I urged her, "Dear, could we now get a hospital room?"               
"But wait, I will have my cake. Let's perform a handshake"    
I crossed my fingers. Because, I would become immune            
I will bake a cake or purchase one. Make no mistake                 
I’m like a raccoon eager for the next opportune
