Well, they say,
you can’t have your cake
and eat it, too.
Well, I don't know
what exactly that means
or even sure if
it’s worth the effort of knowing.
Some people talk just
for the sake of talking
and like clever phrases
to sound intelligent.
They don’t--
but neither do I
when I waste my time
ranting about them.
Give Em Cake, Baby!
Comedian Billy Connolly takes light of the literal meaning with this phrase in his spiel "14 Things I Hate", by responding "What good is a cake if you can't eat it?"
good point. thanks.
good point. thanks.
