Analysis of Cake
Cake cake my first cake
Baked taked at the age of nine
Sweet fondly memories of cake
Taught by dad with guideline
Spatula was an unknown word
No mixing bowl in kitchen
Electric mixer was missing in our kitchen cupboard
Kerosene cooker was part of our poor little oven
Mixed the eggs one by one into sugar
Beating them with wooden spoon
Until they got creamy and thicker
Flour, essence and baking soda added in fine
Butter on an old newspaper
Fiils the role of baking paper
The tray is ready for creamy mixer
Plums and cherries sprinkled to make it sweeter
Tenner I received as an allowance
For my labour and motivation
Part of my training to balance
The family run business devotion
