Twenty-Eight Tiers

My daughter's getting married To a super guy called Tom, It's really fast approaching, It won't be very long. The wedding dress is sorted, The venue and the flowers, The music and the fireworks, But the cake, it took us hours. We went to do some tasting, Each sponge was quite divine, Chocolate orange, vanilla Pimms, coffee and praline. The raspberry and the champagne Made us salivate, Strawberry and white chocolate Tasted oh so great. There was banana and spicy cinnamon, Ginger and caramel, All so gratifying, Oh and Battenberg as well. The carrot cake with walnuts Was tasty as can be, Rhubarb and rose petal And one flavoured with green tea. Piña colada with coconut Like kisses on our lips, Chocolate tiramisu Oh the calories on our hips. Odd flavours such as beetroot, Pistachio and courgette Were actually quite delightful, A taste we won't forget. Earl Grey with lavender, Pumpkin with peanut butter, Mouth-wateringly delectable They got us all a flutter. Chocolate fudge with peppermint, Marshmallow and key lime, Traditional dried fruit, They were all sublime. How could we make our choices For a three tiered wedding cake, We just couldn't do it So we've gone for twenty-eight! 4th March 2017
