A midnight wandering in the buff

Picture the scene : It was nearly midnight. Husband and baby were sleeping soundly next to me. Toddler was snoozing deeply in the next room. I, on the other hand, was wide awake; insomnia having decided to pay me a visit. 

All I could think was I really needed some sleep, ANY sleep, before the night feeds began. Lying in bed quietly with my eyes closed wasn't fooling my mind into winding down so I took to twitter in the hope it would distract me enough to then be able to sleep.

Luckily for me, one of my favourite newbie bloggers, Only Five Fingers from Father, Son And The Odd Blog Post, was mooching about in a slightly inebriated state (I can confidently say that based on the content of his tweets!).

If you haven't met fingers yet, go and take a look at his blog, especially his posts here and here, which really showcase his versatility. He proclaims himself to be a normal bloke in a not so normal world and whilst this may be true, he's also a great writer, full of personality and his love for his family shines through.

So, I took the opportunity to challenge fingers to write me a "cheering up song" with the condition it include 2 of my favourite things; Buffy and cake. In return, I promised I'd post the results here on my blog. I hope you enjoy what his post-midnight brain fuelled with beer and wine came up with. I did!

I wandered lonely in twittering world,

A post was all she asked

To write a verse, like a wandering fool

And in glory then to bask

The subject of her task was simple

It really wasn’t a toughie

To write a ditty and not take the piss

Of her obsession for little old Buffy

I have no idea of who that is

It leaves me not well placed

To write some witty verse or two

And not be over faced

I grab a beer and then a wine

To lube my creaking mind

I decide to check the net for buff

And pray I won’t go blind

I‘ve found that Buffy slays vampires

She also looks quite buff

It’s fair to say I’ve horn right now

From gazing at her muff

I’m sure this isn’t what was in her mind

When setting me this task

But bare with me, it’s late, I’m drunk

It’s more than most would ask

Seems slayer loves her cake as well

Least this is what she asked

To include some sponge, chocolate or plain

Her passion is unmasked

Combine the two she laughed and joked

Its easier than it seems

And so right now I head to bed

Buffy’s cakey muff is in my dreams

From buff to muff and onto cake

These verses know no bounds

Combine the two is slayers whim

Her kinky night we’ve found

A love of both is strange I feel

In fact it’s somewhat kinky

But I need to stop, I’m so tired now...

So post my verse and link me!!

I doff my hat to you Mr Fingers for coming up with what is undeniably an unexpected way of intermingling Buffy and cake! Should I have known better? Probably!
