The Book Of Cake

Some Time Ago, I got slightly bored. And was planning to make a cake. So in the time between deciding to do so, and gathering the ingredients, and making the thing, and waiting for it to bake, and then cool, and then doing the icing, et cetera, et cetera, I wrote this.

The Book Of Cake
1)And The Jared Said Let There Be Cake, And, Lo,
   There Was Cake, And The Cake Was Good,
   And The Cake Was Not A Lie,
   And The Cake Did Not Kill The Jared...
   And All Was Well With The World.
2)And The Jared Looked Upon His Cake And Saw That It Was Good,
   And So He Said Unto The Cake.
   And The Cake Grew Proud And Rose Up Against The Jared,
   And This Grieved The Jared And Drove The Jared Into A Rage,
   And In His Fury, The Jared Took Up The Knife Of His Kinsfolk,
   And Smote The Cake With Many Blows,
   Such That It Fell Into Slices...
3)And When The Jared Looked, And Saw What He Had Done, He Thought.
   And He Came To The Belief That It Would Be Wrong To Permit The Cake To Go To Waste,
   And So, He Took A Slice Of The Cake, And He Put It On A Plate.
   And Then He Took A Spoon, And Having Done All This,
   He Ate The First Slice Of The Cake, And He Knew That It Was Good.
4)Having Eaten The First Slice Of The Cake, The Jared Came To A Decision.
   He Took Those Slices Of The Cake That Remained, And He Went Out Into The World With Them.
   The Jared Sought Out His Kinsfolk, And Those Of His Companions Who He Could Find,
   And To Them He Distributed The Slices Of The Cake,Saying,
   'Here, Eat, And Know The Joy That Comes From The Devouring Of The Cake'
5)And The Kinsfolk Of The Jared, And The Companions Of The Jared, Did Eat Of The Cake,
   And They Agreed That It Was Good.
   And The Work Of The Jared Was Done,
   And He Did Return To His Rest.
   But So Good Had Been The Cake To Eat, That He Soon Made Another,
   And Commanded Those Who Were Willing To Listen To Do Likewise,
   That The Goodness That Is Cake Could Spread To All The Earth.
