A cake














A tin of peaches.
A quick flick through an AWW cookbook, gathering ingredients. A beat, pour and lick. Bake for 45 minutes, test,  then 5 minutes more. 
Say "Wait for it to cool" "Not just now." Repeat.
Two boys, jumping, tackling,yelling, squabbling, snatching. One fed up Mum.
A table cloth, a knife, and plates.
Mum slices, one boy serves.
Quiet. Mmms
Crumbs, conversation, seconds.
Happy boys, happy Mum.

    1. Johnson plates really do make the occasion, I think.
