Auntie Gravity
My sweet old Auntie Gravity bakes all the lightest cakes. Her "Secret X" ingredient is all it ever takes. A single splash of Secret X provides her pies a lift. A smidgen more and suddenly her doughnuts are adrift. A pinch upon her pancakes and they rise above the plate. A dash will make her danishes begin to levitate. Her muffins start to hover from the tiniest of specks. Her bagels float and flutter when she uses Secret X. But, sadly, Auntie Gravity is known to make mistakes, and may have used a bit too much in several pies and cakes. She ate a plate of chocolate cake and tried a slice of mince. I miss my Auntie Gravity; we haven't seen her since. Kenn Nesbitt |
