Lemon Cake

Sweet sugared lemon Cake a mango and a pear Makes up a riddle That is neither here nor there Much like a puzzle Which is bigger than itself Two sided jigsaw That is split and everywhere I shared a common goal To be someone else Drop the bomb And then blame someone else Should have risen But the yeast remained flat An open book pity this and pity that Happiness won't heal My daily ordeal Jumped on the wagon played A gig and then went home Fell over backwards bumped My head and slept alone Woke up my hair in bits This cannot be condoned Stuck to the sofa alarm Blaring from my phone Logged into teams And pretended to be there Mind long distracted By another world not fair When was my hand drawn And this was to be my lot Scanning the ad pages A confused long shot Happiness won't heal My daily ordeal Soaring night ride high Mind shut to the why Happiness won't heal My daily ordeal
