Wax on the Cake...

“And he stood still, staring at the sugar below…
The wind had taken his fellows and their gleam…
Like a lone soldier, he waited for the blow…
But what the heck! He had waited for her beam…!

Huff and puff and huff and puff…
And the clock stood still, hand in hand…
And huff and puff and huff and puff…
Until the flame left, left the wick tanned!

And he laughed and left with a smoky new face!
And sweet and cream on his waxy rear..!
While she got kicks and more, on her base,
And cake and cream in her nose and ear!”
