The Forgetful Baker


Die Watchful Katzen! (that's pronounced "dee" not "die", and means "the" not..."die"...don't worry!)
Cake Decorating Class numero cuatro tonight! learning daffodils and other sundry flowers, yay! other items on today's agenda include: listening to today's New Testament reading, P90x, shower...eat...crafting of some sort :) listening to the sweet li'l birdies outside! promising! hope you all have a great day! today's poem needs no explanation i think...except that it's not autobiographical...thank goodness, although i don't usually wear an apron. oh, and update on the publishing...i still need to make myself go to the library and print things. sigh.



I didn't wear my apron, so
I'm fairly drenched in flour;
Nor did I wear my timepiece, so
I cannot tell the hour.
I didn't read the recipe,
Or measure anything
(Or cash my measly paycheck; now
I'm poorer than the King.)
I didn't turn the oven on,
Which may be just as well--
I prob'ly wouldn't turn it off,
But only smoke can tell..
My cake has fallen, I'm far more
Than fashionably late.
No thank you, turncoat mem'ry, for
Manipulating fate.
