My baker’s commissioned to bake A huge cow shaped iced wedding cake The groom is a farmer He sure is a charmer Its design could lead to heartbreak When the bride saw the cake how she cried Her traditional cake was denied She screamed at the groom Get out of this room Then she plunged the knife in the cow’s side Inspired by but not for contest 02~09~17

haha. Good one, Jan. I thought you were gonna have her plunge the knife in the baker or whoever commissioned that cake. I would eat it anyway. It sure looks good to ME.

Date: 2/10/2017 7:16:00 PM

Date: 2/10/2017 3:11:00 PM

Ha ha! For a minute I was afraid she'd have plunged the knife somewhere else! Food for thought: In reality, did she mistakenly think he was referring to her as a cow:) ... did she see the cow as a rival :) Hugs // paul
