On Kipling
If you can bake a cake, when all around you
Are watching as theirs hesitate, then sink
If you can add some Brandy to the mixture
And not take just one surreptitious drink
If you can break an egg with just your left hand
And get it on the bowl, not on the floor
And remember was it one, or two eggs?
When you get back from answering the door
If you can pipe your child in birthday icing
And not miss out one letter of its name
If you can meet with fondant and fudge topping
And treat these two empastoes just the same
If you can do these things, then in cake-baking
You're no mere tenderfoot or stripling
You're probably a bloody great big factory
That goes beneath the name of "Mr. Kipling"
