Marie Antoinette

You want to have your cake and eat it too
And that's alright; the urge is quite expected.
But once that wish is carefully inspected,
I have to wonder how you're planning to.
What is it you imagine you can do
To have a cake once it has been delected
Or make it pass your stomach unaffected
And still be present just as good as new?
It's better far to simply eat the cake
And let its memory live in your mind
Than to pose for yourself this awful bind
Between what you can keep and you will take.
Enjoy the taste, and do not be confined
By this enigma: simply learn to bake.
