This Is Just To Say (A Reprise)
I have eaten
the cake
that was on
the counter
and which
you were probably
saving
for snack
Forgive me
it was delicious
so sweet
and so chocolate

The Little One’s Birthday Cake Yesterday
The Little One’s Birthday Cake Today
(And In Minutes, This Too Will Be Gone)
I'm not scolding you. It would have happened here too. Actually, it does happen. Happy Birthday to your little one!
I must have been channeling you because I just ate a left over piece of birthday cake that I swore I was going to stay away from.
I love the cake! Happy birthday to the Little One!
I would totally polish that off in minutes too
Mmm – LOVE that poem… I remember reading the original in a college course. I like your revision – anything chocolate will get my attention right away.
Love the spoof on the plums poem – one of my favourites!
I don't blame you – that cake looks irresistible!
Wait! Is it gone? Did you save a bite for me?!
Wait! Is it gone? Did you save a bite for me?!
I can't wait to see how your birthday cake looks! And that transformer cake looked so yummy!!!
Happy Birthday a day early!
LOL…looks like it was delish
The Little One won't have a birthday for a year now, you won't eat any more of HIS cake until then, ok?
William Carlos Williams would appreciate this poetic treatment of the cake's demise. Looks so yummy. Who could really resist?
My "baby" turns 16 on Monday. I expect to have a similar picture to post on Tuesday afternoon
That cake looked delicious! You made short work of it. Happy Birthday to the little one.
Love the poem.
Haha. Inspired, this is. You must have been having a wonderful time with this post. Write on, Carlotta.
That is the trouble with treats.. I just can't stop eating them.
Caaaakkkkkeeee….YUM!
Mmmmm – must have been an excellent cake! Did Little One have a good day and like all the gifts he received?
Happy Birfday you old fart!
And I would eat a whole cake too………ok…I have done it.
lol, did you save any for the Little One and Mr. Jenners?
and happy birthday to you too, it's today I think? or this weekend anyway?
yummy!
I can tell the little one is a big fan of Transformers and a big fan of your cake making skills!
Happy Birthday Jen!!! And happy birthday little one. Like you and your little one, me and my littlest one have birthday's close together. Beautiful cake and beautiful note to little one. You and Mr. Jenners have done good!
