Birthday Cake?

Close your eyes and make a wish,

Blow out every candle,

Scoop a serving on your dish—

Not too much to handle!

Puddle-shaped and slightly goopy,

Melty, warm, and sticky.

Crusty outside, middle soupy,

Eating this is tricky!

Use a fork or use a spoon?

Try a spork instead!

Spreading like a food lagoon—

Sop it up with bread!

So much time to mix and bake,

And now it’s smeared upon ya—

Next year maybe wish for cake

Instead of a lasagna!
