This really only means I should be going to bed now instead of writing doggerel :)
Cover me with flour!
Dust me all in white--
They'll think I am a ghost
But I only look a fright!
I'm a baker in the morning!
A baker through the night...
I think I'd better sleep now...
I think that would be right.
My goodness! I am tired!
And yet I'll never sleep--
The sugar keeps me wide-awake,
As through my pores it seeps.
I've nearly reached my pillow,
It's inches from my head--
I hope I do not dream (again)
Of murd'rous loaves of bread.
I need my Bambi nightlight--or
A gun, for goodness' sake!
I know I'll dream I'm being chased
By a hungry piece of cake!
You don't know what it's like.
I hope you never do.
A baker's life is sweet, of course,
But it will burn you, too.
