There once was a bakery
Possibly a “cakery”
I don’t remember which,
But I know there was a hitch.
Once upon a time
A few mistakes ago
Cocoa powder called my name.
It was all but a game
when I engulfed a spoonful.
Coughing.
Choking.
Hacking.
Puffing like I was coocoo for cocoa puffs.
Twas a bitter enlightenment
In my entitlement.
