Let's Make A Layer Cake Of Happiness

let's make a layer cake of happiness.
why not? 
frosted pink, a lot of icing

a little kid's dream cake.
or a trifle, alternating layers
of strawberry, lemon curd,

hazelnut, chocolaty choclate
blueberries, blackberries
cream o cream

let us not be hesitant in eating it
yet, observe table manners
in case the good fairy is

whirring by and her good mood
depends on
how elegant we are

at table.
with our peach linen napkins.
our irresistible smiles.
