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.

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
