Bundt Cake

She surprised me when we went to the lake;
in truth, I still can’t believe she did that.
Needing an anchor, she used her Bundt cake.

The night before was her one night to bake;
finding a rowboat, we happily sat.
She surprised me when we went to the lake.

Out on the water I noticed a drake;
he puffed his down so he seemed to be fat.
Needing an anchor, she used her Bundt cake.

Then in some currents we started to shake;
I felt the sun when I removed my hat.
She surprised me when we went to the lake.

We wondered if below fish were awake;
maybe the finny-folk had to stand pat.
Needing an anchor, she used her Bundt cake.

Soon on the surface for lake’s current sake,
we saw a denizen move like a cat.
She surprised me when we went to the lake;
needing an anchor, she used her Bundt cake.
