Little ladies sprinkle chocolate br On the special weekend cake br Dad will put it in the oven br Left alone to let it bake br br Hands and faces sticky mixture br Floured noses dirty toes br Drips of filling on their aprons br Some on sleeves just where it shows br br Kitchen table like a war zone br Wooden spoons and whisks around br Butter packets scattered raisins br Many bits the floor now found br br Dad collected bits for washing br In the sink with soapy waters br Wipes the table and the floor down br Cleans the mixture from his daughters br br All now cleaned he checks the oven br Baked real well as they can see br The little ladies pack it special br And take it round for Grandma’s for tea br br br © 2008 David Threadgold br Rambling Riddles & Rhymesbr br David Threadgold www.davidthreadgold.
