Give in to temptation and gluttony as you enter the Baker's stop ("The Raven" Inspired) |
The Baker (Inspired by Edgar Allan Poe’s “The Raven”) ©May1st/2011 I made a few changes/edits Once upon a hunger hanker; I stumbled by a local baker Smell of fresh baked goods wafted by; smelling like sweet apple pie Aroma is there, inhale those fumes; sweet seductive sugar perfume Checked my wallet money is tight; guess just one to quench my delight Charming Baker "the price ignore" Was he serious, is this for free; I think he is, I'm so full of glee But on a diet, should cut back; but there's just something about this shack Licked my lips over all these sweets; mind the diet, time for a treat Room full of devilish snacks; one by one I pound them back Quote the Baker “Have some more” With his offer who could refuse; this giant deal I shall abuse Stuff my mouth full of goods; after this will be a hunger snooze One more bite I shall devour; savouring all these treats of flour Add fatty cream icing spread; could that be Banana bread? Quote the Baker “Have some more” Deep fried cake, the Devil’s food; arteries clogging not so good. Add powdered sugar, who could resist; tug my arm, give it a twist With my stomach about to blow; grinning baker has more to show In the back hidden from the rest; glorious baked goods at his best. Quote the Baker “Have some more” Belly full please no more; hunger hurts getting sore Chocolate cupcakes come in four; don’t know if there’s room for more In my hand it quickly went; down the belly soon I sent Rumbling meaning no more down; then I hear that friendly sound Quote the Baker “Have some more” Brain is thinking “Just leave this place; our belly just don’t have the space” Temptations too high, getting grim; but I know I've reach the brim Drop to the floor, dying soon; heart is racing to the moon One more bite couldn’t hurt; grab that sauce one more squirt Quote the Baker “Have some more” Can’t give in but no more room; sweep me away, grab that broom Taste buds crave savoury dessert; belly’s exploding, it’s going to hurt Paramedics arrive to shock my heart; I frantically reach for one last tart My life they race to save; I feel as though I've become a slave Grinning Baker quotes “Have some more” Heart stops beating problems here; paramedics yell “Stay back, clear!” Pulse starts again they did their job; resurrecting this poor pathetic slob Ice-glazed donuts are within reach; now my mouth won’t let me breach I see the point did almost die; fight the urge... Oh is that pie? Quote the Baker “Have some more” Up in heaven with a sugar rush; eating all I see, woot no more fuss Just my luck, gluttony's a sin; so now in Hell, there goes my grin Not all that bad still lots of snacks; but right beside the torture racks Lifetime of suffering eating all I see; Satan says my soul's the fee So I nod and say “I'll have some more” |
