The exercise:

Your four line poem prompt this week is: the baker.

Hanging out with some friends tonight to watch UFC 111 - should be a good night of fights. Unfortunately, the PPV will still be going when Earth Hour hits so I don't think I'll be able to celebrate it like last year.

Mine:

He smells like pastries and bread,
Our friendly local baker -
But he's slender as a knife,
So I think he's a faker.

  1. I think the UFC beats Earth Hour celebrations :) Was it a good set of matches?
    I'll keep you updated on my Vancouver travels, but hopefully the dates are now fixed, so we should be pretty good.

    A thin baker... yeah, I find that hard to imagine too. I'd certainly not manage to stay thin if I were baking all day!

    The baker

    The villagers live in fear
    Of upsetting their only baker
    Because he's also the executioner:
    Death by poisoned éclair....

  2. Never trust a skinny chef, is my motto. And Greg...it may be risking death to eat the eclair, but what a way to go!


    The Baker

    The man with the large chef’s hat looked about.
    “There’s not enough room for us all in this tub.”
    So he slaughtered the two with a large butcher knife,
    And enjoyed a candlelit rub-a-dub-dub.

  3. Greg - yeah, if I were a baker I'd have cream filling running through my veins in place of blood.

    A baker and an executioner? That's a delightfully different mix :)

    Monica - haha, gruesomely perfect :)
