Vanilla Crazed

Into the pantry, vanilla stash, Into the cake, vanilla splash, Take a swipe at the mixture, no matter how high the stake, HEY, get your grubby finger out of my cake, Spoon once, spoon twice, spoon 3 times, then more, Into cake tins, I count 4, Into the oven, two at a time, Set the timer, wait for it to chime, Out of the draw the oven gloves come, Out of the cake tin, hardly wasting a crumb, For a long time, on a cake rack it cools, But now it's time to get my icing tools, Into the pantry, vanilla stash, Into the icing, vanilla splash.

Thank you! Baking is fun and I enjoy it, like poetry it can sometimes be complex but most of the time it's easy! - Phoenix :)

Dear Phoenix, I adore the scrumptious spirit of your wonderfully rhythmic vanilla poem. Vivacious imagery and breezy rhymes evoke a vanilla craze with finesse. I admire how your last two lines mirror the first two, first with the cake and then the icing. Splendid! Best wishes for a win in the contest and warmest wishes for you.. ~Susan
