Once again, Angel Sammys and Teddys Pawetaton have provided us with a photo for Poetry Thursday.
I
I was going to be a great meal for Jake
His mom had made chocolate cake
Then his mother got his attention with a snap
If he wanted cake he would have to eat this crap
Jake let out a sigh
To cover that he wanted to cry
The cake was right there on the counters
He had defied her before but never been able to summount her
Jake tried moving food around the plate
But his mother would not ababte
His mom said “I want to see that plate clean.”
Especially anything that is bland and green
When his mom turned around Jake had a thought
And he called over his dog Spot
“I am going to give you my dinner
Its what all dogs want, you lucky winner.”
“I don’t think so, good buddy,” Spot said
“But I would rather eat stale kibble instead
That stuff look gross
And would make me gassy, and wreak havoc with my blood glucose.”
Jake had to eat supper, he hadn’t any choice
He ate the food and when finished did rejoice
It was time for the cake, hopefully a big slice
He was about to be in desert paradise
Jake took a big bite of cake
But only one slight he did take
Because it was not chocolate cake but carrot
And man did it taste like shit
Moms are such a bummer!
ReplyDeleteWe love carrot cake, especially if it has a good cream cheese frosting.
ReplyDeleteHA! Although it is good that carrot cake doesn't tast much like carrots.
