Cooking Blues (Monorhyme)(bronze)

I really don't know how to bake
an issue I just have to shake.
I've tried before but made mistakes
my guests walked out with belly aches!

I'd love to wine and dine with steak
but first this curse I'll try to break.
I pray one day, for heaven's sake
a cafe buffet to serve with cake!

Each night I lay most wide awake
dismayed that I feel such a fake,
but hey, I'll give myself a shake
and have a picnic by the lake!

My friends with wine we'll first partake
its fine bouquet they'll gladly take.
With my soiree success I'll make,
and they'll not know they're eating snake!

Or maybe just make fries and steak
now that 'should' be a piece of cake,
if only I could stay awake
fries and steak, a piece of cake!

    Very funny =]

    Steak and cake, though.. even if I liked steak (and wasn't vegetarian), the prospect of eating it with cake is putrid!

  • Great rhyme and flow. I've had a couple of attempts at this one...no luck as yet
    Best of luck to you
