Don’t smear birthday cake; a small slice will do.
It’s a treat to show honor.
Don’t waste away, honey!

streaks through an open sky
spoiling the otherwise perfect blue

Collapsed gingerbread house
arsonist gave it an ounce;
Four walls no emotion,
life without instruction;
Guerrilla ends a frosting douse.

In the bitter cold I can see my breath,
As the snowflakes cool my hot cheeks,
Gently settling in my clothes and hair.
I am headed to the car with a cake.
There'll be a festive party tonight!
My boots glide into the powdery fluff;
And I wonder if it'll ever stop snowing!
The evening sun is setting so very red;
And I can hear the whistle of a bird.
The night will be filled with laughter;
And the evening has scarcely begun.
A white rabbit bounds past the trees;
In a flurry of movement and snow spray.
Drifts now seem to cover all the world.
Though I admired the scene only a moment,
My chocolate cake has been frosted, too!

Romance me with a cup of coffee
A sandwich of grilled cheese
I don’t need glitz and glam
I wear coveralls with worn knees
My hands are rough and cracked
A danger to fine cloth
Dress in denim and cotton
To me, that is fine enough
I have one blue suit
I wear it twice a year
Bib overalls are just
part of my work gear
Dad was not around very long
Exited when my Mother
put me to sleep
with a song
My mother and I lived plain
Ate potatoes that we grew
I don’t need a servant
Or someone to
keep the sofa warm
I need a woman
even without a perm
And we will be together
until age takes one of us away
Will you take a chance on me?
I’ll take a chance on you
Our proof that we are
right for each other
will be verified
when we hold hands.
As one of us breathes
our last breath
and is buried in the land.

It was supposed to be
Frosting.
I added
And I mixed.
I heated
And boiled.
I was
Even precise.
But in the end,
It was only
Crunchy Chocolate
Frosting Candy.

Chocolate frosting
tastes very good on a cake
think I'll eat some now
