Entry #1

The Food Bloggers Poem 

Food food, I like it a lot

I like it from home

I like it in shops
I like taking photos
Of baking success
I like home cooking
Except for the mess

Food food, I love it so much
I love all the sharing
And making a fuss
I love writing blog posts
Especially on cake
I love to show off And show I can bake

Entry #2

[Haiku] Why I bake

Not about eating
(although my thighs disagree)

I'm baking for love

            Demelza Woolston, Practice Bakes Perfect

Entry #3

[Limerick]

There was an old woman from Auckland
who was quite obsessed with pork rind
she ate too much crackling,
and couldn't stop cackling,
So tasty she's just lost her mind.
