Cake (Remove filter)
Then, let them eat snowflake
Into the office
someone's brought cake!
Don't they know
I'm a little snowflake!
I have no willpower
Can't think for myself
Then in strolls this cocky
little cake elf!
Spreading obesity
Like covid 19
Don't they know cake
should never be seen!
It's total carnage
There's cream round me gob
And, now, someone's brandishing
a chocolate hob-...

Crumbs
Love's remembrances can be painful
Lurking like snakes in your head
I find memories of our finest hour
Amid itchy reminders in our bed
The crumbs in my bed remind me of you
The way you brushed your hair for hours
How you sat on the duvet nibbling cinammon toast
Or sniffing posies of hothouse flowers
I still can't work out why you left me
The truth is I'm more t...

Down the market
carrots, apples spuds and fish
chocolate brownies, a porcelain dish
jeans and jumpers, pots and pans
stockings, bras and ornate fans
paintings of the lacal town
jackets, bags and a dressing gown
onsies that look like Donald duck
sweets to chew and sweets to suck
DVDs and home made jam
vinyl records by bross and wham!
perfume, deodorant, talk and soap
yorkshire parkin and a cantelope

Cake
Conversation is always adult like and has an encore
But, his eyes can’t stay off me
Trying to figure me out
Conversations, are as if he wants me
But, the thought of having me as an eternal meal
Not sure if he is deserving, or it’s just the thought
Tracing my face
I smile even when death is near
My mind is a marathon and he doesn’t run anymore
He is already near
In the...

Coffee shop blues
Cup of coffee
cup of tea
hot chocolate
milkshake
cheese toastie
tuna melt
bacon butty
fruit cake
custard cream
vanilla slice
blueberry muffin
tray bake
Drunk them all
ate them all
now I've got
stomach-ache!

Cake Mix
Lied back
Eyes staring upwards
At the Soft Cell poster
Awkwardly tacked to the ceiling
But already beginning to curl at the edges
The sound of crockery clattering
Gently switches me back to reality
The familiar sound of the pot mixing bowl
Rocking back and forth
As Mum beats the eggs with alarming ferocity
(No mechanical aids in sight to whizz the mix into fluffy...

New Year, New Year Resolutions
New year, New year resolution
Gotta be strong, want absolution
This year I'm going to lose some weight
But what will I do without my cake?
Carrot cake, is that one of my 5 a day?
That areas always been kinda grey
And New York cheesecake, that's not so bad
Without the cheese it could be a new fad
Lovely and rich, chocolate fudge
Keep eating that and the weight w...
