Never has my flabber been so gasted*
I surely thought the biscuits would have lasted
And the father, well, what a hungry bastard
You think today the bugger could have fasted.

I’m sitting here looking at the words and trying hard not to let it take me to where I’d normally let it. Battling with my muse.

Just go with it… I originally pictured a brothel when I first thought of writing mine. There’s a place where I live called House on the Rock and one of the rooms is a Velvet room made to look like one of those places. So I kept thinking about that room and wanted to write about it. It’s a great historical sight and obviously the person who created the place has a marvelous sense of humor. But of course I chose to write about the obvious, which is cake. So I lost my chance! Lol…

I just can’t wait. It’s not a term that’s often used in Australia so it will be fun to have a go.
