Piece of cake

I do not know what flavour

it must have been.

The baker lost his mind.

The miller lost the wind.

The author lost his pen.

The poet lost his dream.

A student does not remember

a moment of it all, but there is one whistle.

You have to listen, carefully

but do not look in the trees.

He remembers my favourite cookies.

And I know, what tea he likes.
