Cake Tester

Break off a single piece and use as you would a toothpick. The length is perfect for taller cakes of all kinds. Look at this gift you've just received A round whisk broom, you say… Or maybe it's a clothing brush. To this, I must say nay. My use is not to be a brush; My purpose is another. Now can you guess just what I am? ..I was used by Grandmother. Remember how she'd break a straw, From near by kitchen broom, To test the cake that she had baked; Thus saved it from doom? So hang me near your oven door, There handy I will be. Do not pull, just break off my straw; I'm a cake tester.. see? A conversation piece you need: to brighten up your day? Let your friends guess just what I am; Listen to what they say. Soon talk will be a yesteryear And memories will awake. Pour each a cup of coffee now And serve a piece of cake.
