eat cake

rumor has it that Marie Antointette
told peasants to eat cake,
spurring a revolution

if someone told me to eat cake
I would happily oblige

but at my age I know such
sweet indulges would go
straight to my hips and thighs


- Written for Writer's Digest Wednesday Poetry Prompt #770 which asks for a food poem.  This is second poetry prompt response for today.
