THE CAKE-LOVER’S LAMENT

“Oh, crumbs”, she sighed,

“These lovely cakes

Will be

The death of me.

I think ‘twas a mistake

To have

For breakfast, lunch

And tea.

And now it's time

For abstinence,

Though abstinence

Really hurts.

But I must be ready

For summer-time

To wear my bikinis

And mini-skirts”.
