Three cakes lay before you
and you have to chose amongst them:
the chocolate cake
the white cake
and the rainbow
(the rainbow is not a metaphor
for a multicultural existence
much as you would like it to be.
It’s just the cake that happens to be
in the middle).

The chocolate cake
is dry.
The white cake
far too sweet.
The rainbow cake has no consistency
and barely makes it
from fork to mouth
without dispersing somewhere
upon your shirt.
It’s a mess.

Your mission:
how to tell
your fiance’s aunt
that you like hers best?
Extra points
if you get me the answer
fast.
