Cup Cakes !!!



Cup - Cakes ?

Tap ! tap ! tap ! came the noise on Imapig2's kitchen door one sunny morning .

" Oh ! hallo Moonpig " said Imapig2, poking her snout out of the door, waving a wooden spoon in her trotter.

I Hope That spoon's not to
 hit me with !
 

" I hope that ...( points to spoon in Imapig2's trotter ) isn't to ' hit ' me. " said Moonpig ducking out of the way ... just in-case .

" No, " laughed Imapig2 " I was about to cook some cup-cakes, APigCanFly is here too , taking charge of the Hot Oven, 'cause.... my mommy says " started Imapig2 " blah..blah ....)

" Oh ! here we go again. " thought Moonpig to himself,

"...& I'm much too young to mess with the cooker. I might burn my.. my pretty little trotters .That's why APigCanFly is here...to help " continued Imapig2 ignoring Moonpigs twisted face he had made.

" I can help too ! " co-erced Moonpig, pushing his way through the kitchen door , past Imapig2 & giving APigCanFly gentle 'peck ' on her cheek.


Hi ! XXXX
 

" Oh ! hi there " said APigCanFly " fancy seeing ...you..here, I'm helping Ima with her cakes. "

" Yeah ! I've come to ...'help '...too ! Well ' many trotter's make light work ' so they say."Moonpig chanted.

" Let's set you to work then " APigCanFly began ...


Let's set to Work then,
 said APigCanFly


( Work.....WORK !..... echoed in Moonpig's ears ) " Oh uhm ! that's right, I nominate myself, er...um....'Chief Cake Taster' & er...um..'Management Organizer'.

" That sounds ..important. " said Imapig2 who had quickly followed Moonpig. " I want to mix the 'goo' up & put the icing & ' pretties ' on the cakes."

" And I'll oversee the 'Hot Bits' , so no-one gets burnt " piped up APigCanFly , so team...we have about one hour left, before Ima's mother gets back,so,...lets.. get cooking. "

So everybody started busying themselves.Imapig2 emptied the mixture into the bowl, added eggs ( from the free-range hens ),butter ( from the cow's creamy milk ) etc; etc; APigCanFly set the oven temperature, making sure the racks were at the right height in the oven,and Moonpig !! ..well he watched ..didn't he ?

" Come on Moony, " called Imapig2 " can you get me some cups to put the cup-cakes in...please ? "


I'm supposed to be ...Supervising! said a Grumpy Moonpig
 
 

" Here You Are !!!! " voiced a grumpy Moonpig, " I'm supposed to be ..Supervising "

( Swish ! swish ! Whrr ! whrr ! ) went the mixer in Imapig2's trotters.

" Right into the cups now. " said Imapig2

" WAIT ! I need to test the ...er..Quality first " said Moonpig dipping his trotter into the mixture ( Slurp ! Mm mm, ) yes, nearly ...er there. Carry on Ima, just a little more mixing, I think. Set the mixer to the fastest position, it won't take so long then."

 

( Click ! Swish ! swish ! whrr ! CLUNK ! WHRR ! WHRR !...Splat ! Splat ! SPLAT ! )

" STOP ! The mixer Ima " shouted APigCanFly, " The mixture is ..Going..EVERYWHERE !

The mixture..went EveryWhere !!!
 

" I can't ! " shouted back Imapig2, over the noise of the electric mixer," The button's broken. "

Eventually...Rmm ! whrr ! splutter ! splut ! " Just unplug the mixer. " joked Moonpig.

" Oh ! what a mess " exclaimed Imapig2 & APigCanFly both together.

Scrape ! scrape ! splodge ! was heard in the kitchen, as a clear up plan went into action.Moonpig just supervised,as usual.

" Well ..it ...will have to do, I suppose." APigCanFly said, mopping her brow.....

Later....much later.. "Are you sure cupcakes are made in ...in tea cups ? " asked APigCanFly .

" Of course, " smiled Imapig2, " otherwise you wouldn't call them ' cupcakes' would you ? "

" Then we need more cups . " APigCanfly continued.

( Crash ! Tinkle ! ) " oops ! here you are Ima " Moonpig handed the last 'whole ' cup over.


Last cup...No more left
 
 

" Thanks Moony , ( splodge ! splodge ! ) There finished last one. Now ...into the oven."

APigCanFly put them gently in the oven & after ten minutes, the cakes were ready.

" Don't touch yet ! They're still much too hot to eat " assured APigCanFly.

" Aww ! Let me put some icing on them & some 'pretties' " pleaded Imapig2.

So APigCanFly helped Imapig2 to make the icing tops & got some decorations so she could put them on.

" Don't they look pretty ? " Said Imapig2.

"Bet they taste even nicer,... How you supposed to eat them ? " asked Moonpig.

" I think you just 'spoon' them out, bit by bit ." She answered her little green piggy friend.

" Let me try then ? " said Moonpig grabbing a cupcake, & trying to stuff the whole thing into his mouth. " Mm ! I didn't quite get the taste of that one. I will have to try another. "

Suddenly ! the door opened & in marched Mommy Dear.....

" Arrrgh ! What's been going on in my kitchen ? " she shouted, looking at all the mess on the walls & worktops.

All three spoke together, in such a way as Mommy dear couldn't dechipher an ..intelligent answer.

Finally Moonpig stated, " We thought we'd em .. er..Re-decorate the kitchen for you, while we were ..um..er..making cupcakes. " Moonpig smiled :)

" Get out ! Get out ! " shouted, Mommy Dear.

 Must ..erm..go...says Moonpig
 
APigCanFly had flew out of the window quietly,while no-one was looking & Imapig2 just stood there, her chin wobbling away, ready to burst into tears.

" Must go, duty calls " said Moonpig backing his way out of the door & running off, leaving Imapig2 to face Mommy Dear's wrath !......  



Well Ima ???                                           Peace is restored with tea & cup cakes
                                          
Hows Zat !    by Imapig2   ~  Oink ! oink !

The Three Little Pigs ( Dream ??? )



Imapig2 sat with her bestest of friends

In their favourite spot in the meadow,where the river just bends

I had the strangest of ~ dreams last night she said

Perhaps you can help some light to shed

A troubled shared is a trouble halved so they say

perhaps us three together can save the day

so tell us your dream APigCanFly enquired

Moonpig & I are feeling inspired

So Ima began her story right there

Yes all her troubles - she lay bare




Woke up this morning,got out of bed

Walked outside my farmhouse,after I'd been fed

'Things' didn't seem right in the farmyard today

Stange things were happening but I have to say-


                   The stork sat in her usual place

stork with a funny-faced sheep

but a sheep was there too,pulling a silly face

Another was on the chicken-coop with a fancy grin

As though it had been a long time-on the gin


Another four stood below it the yard

with a puppy dog - Were they on guard ?


Maa~~

A goat stood still as if 'looking me over'

"It wasn't me ( honest ) who ate your clover"




 


S.O.S.????

A hen on the barn roof was waving a wing ~

Was it a 'Signal' or was it having a 'fling'

Two hens were were standing outside of the coop

and another face appeared at the window to 'snoop'





The ladybirds on the fence were busy

Going round & round-they made me quite dizzy

Creeping blue flowers round the fence were growing

And a pig on a tractor was going a plowing



Out the way, I'm going plowing !!
.


The sails on the windmill were turning around

milling the grain-for the flour to be ground

That sounds 'Real Cool' Moonpig squeezed in

while Ima drew breath,then continued her 'din'


But the strangest part was what I saw Up above

Two sheep on a cloud flew by-like a dove

As they hung on tight to the 'silver' cloud

this is what they were Baa-ing out loud..



It's All a Dream

" We wondered lonely On a cloud

that floats Up Here over vales & hills

When all at once we saw a Crowd,

A Host of Golden Daffodills

Beside the Farm,Beneath the Trees

tossing their heads-in the breeze


Imapig2 sat still exhausted & tired

Tell me please,your verdict is required

APigCanFly & Moonpig looked at each other,

Was this another joke,or shall we just smother


Imapig2 & tell her to 'Grow Up Quick'

not falling again for that 'old trick'

We think you've missed one important fact

said APigCanFly trying to use 'tact'

Yeah! says Moonpig - her two friends said

"Those flowers aren't 'Daffs' they're sunflowers instead "

Yes I thought they were Sunflowers,will tell them when

They 'Get off the Cloud',or when they pass over again




Epilogue !



Wasn't that good fun,they were suns not daffs

All three pigs rolled over,Then out came the laughs
