One cup of half-baked naivety
aproned up in short pants
following instructions
cooked up by our favourite
kitchen celebrities
add cream dream reality
beaten up and over heated
with egg on our faces
provide food for thought
to finish us off
and there you have it –
cynicism on a plate de dum!

Love the rhythm in this, and how it barrels to the finish. Great job.
Thank you Nicholas. Interesting phenomenon: I cut down on cake and it seeps out in my poetry! 🙂
Great expression of cynisism. It’s such a destructive take on life.
Hopefully, a remedy can be found somewhere amongst these posts.
