Analysis of Potpourri Babycakes



The mish now buried in the mash,
  the dog caught rooting through the trash

With litter scattered far and wide,
  the pieces gather, the Cheshire hides

All lollygaggers out in front,
  those last now first, a noble stunt

The blend what’s vital, layers bake,
  Choo Choo Mamma—Potpourri Babycakes

(Villanova Pennsylvania: February, 2017)
…written while listening to ‘Come Together’
 by the Beatles
