Cake

(I ate my slice of cake at Cozyhaus - sorry!)

I often long for cake 

  

Chocolate

  Spice

    Carrot cake

      White cake if necessary

Icing not a requirement ~ 

  but I’ll never turn it down

Today I gave myself a treat

Only because I hadn’t eaten yet 

   and I’d walked a long way

‘all sold out’ of rice bowls 

  forced me ~ yes forced me ~

   to either just have tea or maybe, 

     just maybe a piece of cake?

When I saw a real piece of apple 

   inside a maple cinnamon cake 

with cream cheese frosting ~ two layers!

   There was no contest.

It was dense, moist and delicious ~

  a perfect accompaniment 

    to my Peppermint Fog Tea.

“Where there is cake, there is hope. 

And there is always cake.”
