CH #68 - Stir Crazy
I’m famous for procrastination;
I put things off til almost too late
And then I rush to get things done.
Well I’ve really done it this time.
The Church bake sale is tomorrow
I’ve promised them eleven cakes.
I’m famous for my Yum-yum cakes,
Rich with fruit and coconut.
They sell like hot dogs at a fair.
The ingredients are all lined up -
They only lack the blending
But my mixer just froze up and died.
So now I’m really in a mess
No time to go and get repairs
I’ll have to do it all by hand
And I will go stir-crazy.

An entry in BLT's word-of-the-day challenge. A dip into literalism. I really am locally famous for my Yum-yum cake.
