Cake

I am nine
When my Mother
Asks me what kind of
Birthday cake I want so
I consider my options for
A split second and ask for
The soft brownness of a real
German chocolate cake with
Coconut icing which I have got
Stuck on my mind as the best
Possible Birthday cake but a
Problem is my Jewish Mom
Refuses to listen to any
German music or eat
German food unless
We can convince
Her it is Austrian
Or Jewish like
The cake or
Mozart not
True but
Sufficient
For a good
Rationalization
As she is fond of
German food and
Music which we
Enjoy anyway
But WW2 is
Only half a
Decade in
The past
So big
Eyes
And
Soulful
Looks are
Required to
Procure the cake,
Just so in life
So be ready
To shed a
Tear for
German
Chocolate cake.
