Birthday Cheesecake

‘Tis some days before,

‘Bout 4, as I’m counting,

December birthday,

For Topher, “YEAH”! (shouting).

A cheesecake’s a must!

Can’t break from tradition!

I’m sure I’ve got stuff…

To make this addition.

Crust stirs up quickly,

“Press gently in the pan.”

“Stir these for filling”,

So the next step began.

Wait! What happened here?

“Now, who ate the cream cheese”?

Fridge mouse discovered?

Two tall, dark and handsomes! Geeze!

Sour cream on fridge shelf?

You’ve got to be kidding!

Just leftover yams…?

And whatever’s growing!

Off to Scolaris…

I did fly in a flash,

No open shutters,

Or throwing up of sash.

Record quick shopping,

Cheesecake finally baking.

Birthday tradition,

Mem-o-ries a-making!
