let them eat cake

if you're having trouble

with someone

bake them a cake.

it they're disagreeable

and angry with you for 

something you may have

said or done,

if they are cantankerous souls,

bitter and mean

for no apparent reason.

bake them a cake.

go out and get the ingredients.

make it from scratch,

with flours and eggs and all

that you need to make it right.

and when it's done 

bring it to their door

as a peace offering, 

a kind attempt

to make things right.

and if they say no, 

if they refuse it,

then take the cake home,

and you eat it.
