Wedding Cake Blues
Rondeau
by Tom Gant
We baked some cake, just you and I
but forgot time, it came out dry
and your sister just did not laugh
at all of her wedding guest's chaff
But at least the weather matched July!
So my advice should help you try
stop the sound of a taster's sigh
at the vile slice of cake you pass
"help me" they think
Use three eggs, sugar, flour and wine
Mix them up, don't forget to smile!
O! Shake up and Stir! Slap and dash!
forty minutes on hottest gas!
Then maybe guests won't end their time
over the sink
