I am going to make
An upside-down cake.
I know I’ll need some flour,
But I’m going to wait
At least half an hour
Before I begin to bake.
I’ll need some fat
And eggs, and water,
Sugar in an upside-down bowl
And mix all of that.
Before I can really begin
I’ll need an upside-down tin,
And an upside-down oven
To fit everything in.
I know your will say
I will have to stand on my head
To eat an upside-down cake.
But I have thought of that:
I will choke and be dead.
So I will change my mind
And bake instead
A sideways cake
And eat it
Sideways in bed
