Gnoff's Stolen Cake
It happened in the springing time,
When all the leaves were green,
And once again, Abbess Germaine,
A-baking cakes had been.
She stirred them good and mixed them fine,
With honey, nuts and flour,
Then put them out to cool awhile,
Untill the teatime hour.
But then along came bold Sir Gnoff,
His eyes a-twinkling bright.
A cake he'd set his heart upon, for suppertime that night.
He took the greastest cake of all, from off the window ledge
And hid it in a secret place, close by the forest edge.
The Abbess came to check her cakes, about the midnoontide
And found the mousetheif with bow and arrows at his side
I saw an eagle steal your cake, he swooped then flew away.
So I stand guard upon your cakes lest he returns today.
The Abbess chose another cake, which to Sir Gnoff she gave,
And when upon each baking day, my lovely cakes I make,
I'll save a special one for you, for your kind action's sake.
