You can make upside down cake with peaches! Wow!
I love the idea, said my snippy curt neighbor, Mrs. McDow.
That woman never has an original thought said my chow.
Sammy is not a normal dog, he does not do bow wow.
His wisdom is astonishing, his intelligence high-brow.
I was amazed that he knew so well old Mrs. McDow
We have one hard rule at our dinner table.
Don’t pay extra attention to the duck said Mable.
I had no idea what this meant, but my hunger was at stake.
They were having a dessert of pineapple upside down cake
So I agreed to not pay any attention to the duck
She sat next to me on the table yelling out “truck!” and “muck!”
She went through the alphabet which meant she used the f’s too.
Ignoring this baby duck now was ever so hard not to do.
granny’s oven began working in the twenties, and working strong
she was baking pies, cookies, cakes, and muffins all winter long
it is 1959 and her oven is still working her baking heart away.
you can hear it heating up at the beginning of every single day.
her scones are delicious, her pineapple upside down cake a delight.
she sometimes bakes raspberry cobblers way into the night.
granny never lets company step a foot inside without a treat.
her oven is her conspirator, and we all think this is truly neat.
Thank You, on one knee
I fall before you, first thing.
Otherwise, why get up?
The world has turned to mush.
Upside down cake that burned.
Too long in the oven.
Frogs, warmed up in a pot…slowly.
Now…
I fall before You.
Prayers for my family, my friends,
and those I care about.
More… for those that I do not.
They are lost…surely.
The murderer on the cross, was spared.
The other went to hell.
The road is wide and narrow.
Help me keep my feet upon it, (at all)
Now…
I fall before you.
Lift me up, and tell me “You” are with me.
I am small, you are tall.
I will have no spirit of fear,
as you never gave me…
one.
Now…
I fall before you.
Please give me strength to stand.
Amen.
~ Room Service ~
There once was a bat, flew straight out of Hell
Who landed on the Farmer in the Dell --
Farmer got nervous
Called Room Service, said --
"Hey, I ordered my bird medium-well!"
~ Funky Grasshopper ~
There was a funky grasshopper so quick
He once jumped to Africa in a lick --
He heard a lion
Thought he'd be dyin' --
Got malaria ~ poor lion got sick!
~ Super-uptight ~
An upside-down-cake was once baked upright
The chef became anxious, super-uptight --
He added a joint
And more to the point --
Guests ate the cake and got high as a kite!
Times were hard in Grandma's day
No electrical appliances had she
A ringer washing machine for washing the clothes
And a whistling gas kettle for making the tea
No electric lighting
Just a lamp filled with gas
That's what I remember
When I was a lass
Kneeling down, scrubbing steps
And not just her own
With a bucket of hot water
And a block of donkey stone
I remember on a Tuesday
Grandma used to make
In a willow pattern bowl
A pineapple upside-down cake
Sunday was trifle day
With custard, cream and jelly
Then at twenty to four we'd settle down
To watch ‘The Golden Shot' on the telly
Grandma used to take washing in
For all the neighbours in the street
Then when it was clean and dry
I’d fold it in piles so neat
We were very poor
And didn’t have much to boast
But we were happier then than people are now
The ones who deserve the least have the most
I'm not much of a desert eater
but give me egg and I'm quite the beater
blend flour and vanilla, a pineapple or two
and I'll make an upside down cake for you.
No Betty Crocker, but with a little sugar and butter
sweet cherries and cake can set your heart flutter.
Let it lay tempting atop a yellow fluffy cake
and a slice you would surely take.
Another, yes go right ahead, you're welcome to it
You love cake and I do too, just let your pants unzip,
Enjoy the sweet juicy fluffy temptation
later you can hold on to your hesitation
Regret the indigestion and the bulge
but it was good now gone, gulp, I know.

Sensuous.
