Written by Brian F Kirkham for the Apprentice prompt 7/5/2017
Flour strewn across the table
cocoa liberally cast on the floor
cinnamon dust lines the air
cutting through the icing sugar fog
And through the icing sugar mist
the young lad who’s eager to learn
emerges to grab his bosses attention
he was watching as the sugar burned
but alas, he grabbed the oven door top
and as the door of the oven started to drop
he realised there wasnt enough water in the mix
as his cake creation put him in a fix
A cloud of sugary dust appeared
igniting to light his hair and his beard
apprentice or novice – his boss he was swayed
to call the number of the fire brigade
