The life of a cupcake

----------------------

They put me in the oven to bake.

Me a deprived and miserable cake.

Feeling the heat I started to bubble.

Watching the others I knew I was in trouble

They opened the door and I started my life.

Frosting me with a silver knife.

Decorating me with candy jewels.

The rest of my batch looked like fools.

Lifting me up, she took off my wrapper.

Feeling the breeze, I wanted to slap her.

Opening her mouth with shiny teeth inside.

This was the day this cupcake has died.
