Sonnet for a cake war
You can have your cake - but can you eat it?
Rated:
ASR
by
Avg Rating: (6)
I just don't think that a diet applies
During office Birthday celebrations
Is carrot cake one of my 'five a day'?
Musing vegetable negotiations...
Seven of us clutter up the office
- and eight pieces of crumbly angel cake
Won't need no calculator for the math
All's fair when confectionery's at stake

Susan, Paul and Mark have all missed their chance
Trapped in meetings like grown-ups detention
John's been sent with urgent courier pack
Jane, Jackie and I warily advance
A Mexican stand off builds the tension
Grab, scoff and gulp, then grinning take the flack!
