The Office Cake

The Office Cake

No cake in the office?
Are they barking mad?
Who are these lunatic killjoys?
Is this the latest fad?

What is this ‘passive eating’?
Why must we try to beat it?
If I want cake, I’ll have some cake.
Not only that, I’ll eat it.

Don’t tell me what I should do.
Don’t tell me what to say.
I won’t say ‘no’ and neither will you.
I’ll eat it anyway.

Chocolate mud-cake came our way,
It was one of Valerie’s.
There was a ‘y’ in that day of the week
So of course, NO CALORIES.

We will never spurn the office cake.
It puts us in a good mood.
It makes our brains work better.
It is NOT the devil’s food.

So stuff the daft do-gooders,
It makes my poor head ache.
‘Down with passive eating’, I say, and
‘THUMBS UP FOR THE OFFICE CAKE’.
