Grow Your Own Flour
Little Annie made a cake,
a cake that was not hard to bake.
In went flower, chopped - not whole -
then some more stuff - filled the bowl.
From the oven, here it came,
a smelly mess - quite a shame.
'Twas an insult to one's nose.
Annie'd flowered with a rose.
Annie's cookbook was at fault.
She thought at first - too much salt.
But no, it was the cookbook's spelling.
Flour-flower - real hard telling.

A good motto might be, put your reading glasses on before you bake your next cake.
