The Cheesecake That Almost Was Not Cooked

Every now and then, When the moon is in the right quarter, I think of my daughter, And then, I want to bake a cheesecake that is even better, Than the one I baked to impress her then. An invitation to tea when the moon was in the right quarter, So out came my old recipe book then, A lemon cheese cake, could not be better, A week to get the ingredients then, And make a cheesecake that trumps the last one I made my daughter. And then, Back to the recipe book before the moon moved to an unfavorable quarter, Now where in the book was the lemon cheesecake recipe then, It had to be there, the moon was still in the right quarter, What other explanation could there be then, Later after an hour and a quarter, I found I was not yet going out of my mind then, And could put off upsetting my daughter. If it is a lemon cheesecake I told my other daughter, That is what it should be called then, Especially when the moon is in the right quarter, So why call it a superb cheesecake then, As I have no wish to upset my daughter, Before the time comes when? . i
