A Spongee(*) Haiku for a Cake With Teeth
Had my cake. Ate it.
From inside cake cried, "I'll get
back at you for that!"
(*) A 21st. century development of the 'spondee,' a two syllable poetic foot with equal stress on the syllables. Not much used now that 'free verse' has sidelined poetic rhythm.
e.g. Spondee: Bus stop: Heat pump: Friday: Toothache: Football: Get It?

Had a giggle at your mention of my 'dietary supplement'. And another at that very toothy cake. And laughed out loud at your spongee / spondee creation.
ReplyDeleteThank goodness our food really can't talk back or they would most definitely say "I'll get back at you for that" and prove it by way of indigestion. :)
ReplyDeleteLol he did show his teeth But too late you already ate it. haha Good one
ReplyDeleteThat's one scary cake!
ReplyDeleteThat's funny, I would not have seen those "teeth" had you not shown me.
ReplyDeleteLOL! 🤣
ReplyDeleteI think you're a basket case, Horseman. But thank you, thank YOU, THANK YOU for not wanting to approve comments before publication. What's wrong with the dear little sensitive souls? Are they scared someone might fully approve of their. efforts?
ReplyDeleteI can't agree with Mrs.Trellis's piercing analysis of your psychological profile; I think you see the world as it truly is - a Vale of Tears, leading directly to the Seven Circles of Hell. But I do agree with her views on comment moderation. I have a list of Comment Moderators, and don't usually bother reading their posts, never mind commenting on them.
DeleteThanks to all for your comments. Happily, I can report that they in no way cheered me, apart from Mrs.Trellis's. That worthy lady seems to read me with encouraging exactitude.
ReplyDeleteBe aware that the cake is made to my own recipe and contains powdered glass.
Chomping on your post and darn it, nothing gloomy comes to mind. Try harder next time why don't-cha?
ReplyDeleteAmongst the many valuable tid-bits I learned at school was this gem. The only spondee in the English language with two LONG syllables is 'AMEN' Comments anyone?
