|
did you like the cake? |
|
aw some of it was nice |
|
I have made a cake like that |
|
in my own home once or twice |
|
just as fine as that one |
|
which we had some of today |
|
none of it was wonderful |
|
much more the okay |
|
and you can make another |
|
if you know what is wrong |
|
but I am too distracted |
|
from fighting all day long |
|
but I will help you do it |
|
I will come and meet you here |
|
but then may I may find you on |
|
this corner of the stairs |
|
into her head a figure |
|
six o'clock exact |
|
and if she did not come down |
|
it would have been no fact |
|
the truth is of the moment |
|
the believer is to blame |
|
if some off-handed statement |
|
brings thoughtfulness and shame |
