Here’s a rain rhyme from Northumberland that reminds us that rainy weather is a good opportunity to stay indoors and cook!
Rain, rain, go away,
And come again another day,
When I brew and when I bake,
I’ll give you a little cake.
Stay dry!
Mama Lisa
PS You can tell it’s raining where I am and that I’m considering baking something yummy!

“I’ll give you a $ADJECTIVE cake” is a “floater” line, it’s part of a lot of nursery rhymes:
Bat, bat, come under my hat
I’ll give you a slice of bacon
And when I bake
I’ll give you a cake
If I am not mistaken
or
Come, butter, come
Come, butter, come
Peter’s waiting at the gate
I’ll give him a butter cake
Come, butter, come.
