Cake
chosen by Hazel Dawkins
In times of trouble or despair
It has to be a smooth Eclair
Companion to a cup of coffee?
A hefty slice of rich Banoffee
A pot of tea will not suffice
Without a lush Vanilla Slice
In Sundays in a lazy bed
It has to be Banana Bread
Relaxing on a morning break
Battenburg or Carrot Cake
Feelin' tired or just can't budge
Try a wedge of Chocolate Cake
To finish off, a Petit Fours
A taste to worship and adore
To Mum Christmas Thumb Cake Jacqueline Shirtiff
chosen by Valerie Dennis
Love
Leah I wonder if others
have just as much bother
when doing their Christmas bake?
It happens each time
with the orange and lime
however much care I take
As I grate off the rind
I‘m always inclined
to add bits of my thumb to the cake.
