Rolling Pins In Heaven

There're rolling pins in heaven oh, there must surely be For Grandma was a baker she often baked for me Double Chocolate layer cake Orange and Buttercream Meringue atop a Lemon pie to decorate a dream Her Fruitcake for a holiday would summon family taste Especially Aunt Ethel’s who worried for her waist And speaking of Aunt Ethel who’s also up above Her Cherry Pies and Cup Cakes left nothing not to love It was a competition a “Cake off”, “Bake off” match If one came out lop-sided must not have been from “scratch” There’re rolling pins in heaven they’re baking up a storm I think, when I hear thunder “Just keep my Muffins warm”

You really surprised me here, Mike. Seeing the title, I thought, 'For sure thisi is about thunderstorms = 'the gods are bowling in heaven.' (Or at least Zeus is, on the mountaintop. lol). At any rate, what a delicious and delightful, not to mention aromatic surprise. 'Batter up,! I say. ~ Stormy

How sweet, Mike (pardon the pun). I thoroughly enjoyed your poem. Can't you just imagine all of our grandmas up there baking. A delicious thought. My grandma always baked everything from "scratch," an artform I feel, sadly, is being lost because of cake mixes. Good stuff, man!

Sweet memories you evoke, Mike in this tribute to your loved ones. Certainly they have rolling pins up there and a bakery shop. Splendid write, as always.
