She bakes, she cooks, she cleans and sews A baker by choice, treats and doughs She can do what anyone can A woman of beauty, not a man The buns she makes, mouth watering The cakes she bakes, angel’s will sing Her pies are the best of the state And boy, don’t you ever be late Listen Sonny, you hear her say No sticky bun for you today Cause you don’t think I’ve got a clue So...shove it and take a hike too. For bakin’ is my one true claim since I’m no longer a young dame For nigh on forty years or more I’ve been in charge, the bak’ry store I cook, I clean, I shake and bake. I even shovel hay with a rake. My buns, so sweet, with sugar shake A humble pie for you I’ll make!!!! |

  (big hugggsssssss) Ooohhhhhh...this is a very tempting and indulging poem, sweet friend, I know Karilea must have smiled reading this and blushed, for she truly does so so much just as she is a w onderful friend and poet! (sigh) This is excellent, sweet friend, I love it, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Barry, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

Magnus mumbling incoherently, mouth too full to speak...Sun shoving another one down his throat....Muttering something about "I'll show you a sticky bun or two, here.....have another one".... Magnus falls off chair onto floor, gasping.. Milk.....please....milk!! [This message has been edited by Magnus (05-29-2002 09:46 PM).] |

Martie....YEP, serves me right, that I would ever imagine that OUR SUNSHINE...aka Karilea, aka Baker from the plains... would ever NOT know something that I did... (Magnus exiting stage left with smirk on his face....thinking....I got even with her this time) |

Magnus darling boy I love this one I love it when you get to play. Now don’t turn your back on Kari, she’s a tricky one, she’s definitely got a lot going for her. Sticky buns This I LIKE a lot. Magnus beware she’s coming after you I warn you dear boy your rhyming days are through When Kari gets ready to bake you a pie She may well sling it right in your eye I’ve seen her eat poets like you before Then turn around and say Mushy give me more I’m not telling tales but who’s missing round here? I’d watch it darling boy or you she’ll soon spear This is wonderful. I love it utterly utterly love it As always Mushy    Breathe through the heat of our desire |

Hey, I can relate to this...especially the "wife" part...where you state..."shove it?"...LOL....I remember this: I was flying my kite one very windy day It was spinning round and round in a careless kind of way, From my wife at the window, I heard this screeching yell, "Hey Toerag!, what you need is a little more tail!" Well if that didn't confuse me, it was only late last nite, That I asked her and she told me to go fly a kite! |
