Funny Poem

Someone showed me this poem, and I think it's so apt that I wanted to put it on my blog!

ONLY A SPONGE

You're ever so clever - I'll get you to make
for my mother's birthday a beautiful birthday cake
Only a sponge - that's all I need
('only a sponge', I thought, 'only' indeed)

Make it look pretty, she'd like it in pink
put one of those frills on - no - two frills I think.
Insert some ribbon and cover the board
remember to put 'Happy birthday to Maude'

As for the flowers, her favourite's sweetpea
and orchids and roses - well just do all three.
Mustn't forget some embroidery things you know,
flowers and ribbons and birds on their wings

You'll charge me 'nine fifty'?
Well that's a bit steep
It's ONLY A SPONGE
and they're ever so cheap!!
