MY CAKE

Going to the kitchen was my first mistake 
I decided that today I would make a cake 
Eggs,water,sugar,flour how hard could it be ? 
In this poem you are about to see 

I looked at the recipe and started to prepare 
Without the correct amount I didn't seem to care 
A mix of this and a dash of that 
It was all too easy like skinning a cat 

The recipe said thirty minutes on gas mark nine
I'm sure my cake would turn out fine 
So out of the oven my cake eventually came 
It tasted awful the incorrect amount of ingredients were to blame
