There was an old mouse who could bake

What wonderful things he could make

Dozens of tarts

Worked dough like the arts

But could never bake a cake

&quot;I want a life that sizzles and pops and makes me laugh out loud. I want my everyday to make God belly laugh, glad that he gave life to someone who loves the gift, who will use it up and wring it out and drag it around like a favorite sweater.&quot; -SN
