I just did this in about ten minutes, so I don't expect you to actually use it! But maybe it will give you some ideas:

The Muffin

The muffin was feeling a treat
all pretty in white paper pleats
She was placed on a table of wood
And she felt so sweet and so good

Then she noticed that very close by
was a sight that made her quite shy
A big yellow cake with pink icing
With flowers and swirls, looked enticing

She's so much better than me!
The muffin cried en-vious-ly
Who'd want this little ol' snack
When they could have something like.that!

The muffin had made the mistake
Of comparing herself to the cake
Perfect in her own little way
Till envy had ruined her day.

Aw that is real good. Come over here and I will give you a little scratch behind the ears. Good kitty.

There once was a muffin of bran
who sat on a bakery pan
she said with some clarity,
"I can help with regularity,
think of me when you sit on the can?

But today I'm consumed with envious feelings
jealous thoughts and murderous dealings
the cake's just for pleasure
with frosting for good measure
and candles piled high to the ceilings!"

The cake replied, "You don't want to be me,
moist, delicious and oh-so chocolatey,
I've calories galore,
oh, I'm just a sugar whore!
They'll come back to you, you'll see."

The muffin listened to the cake,
envy gone as she started to bake,
be true to yourself
on the bakery shelf
low honesty's better than a high-minded fake

Cyphercat, be sure to copyright this idea of yours. There are thousands of mothers and other people out there that would love to have a plaque or poster of your idea with many of these verses to post in their kitchens.

You'll be rich! Market it. Muffin envy will replace the tired phrase of "Eat your vegetables!"

Maybe you and Mame can get together and create something. You're both crafty and clever.

Ugh! I just clicked on it again-- I hate seeing it all huge like that! It's only 3" by 4" in real life, so it doesn't look right being so large.

more betterer?

Thanks RP! I like the woodcut a lot, cyphercat. Are you focusing especially on engraving in your course?

Jespah, I love that...I was sold on it from the first verse, heehee Smile

Reege! Thanks for getting that to post at a nice size, that's much better.

So, we had our critique yesterday, and the li'l bran muffin with its accompanying delightful poems was very well-recieved, so thank you again, everyone! This was a big help Smile
