  • A Rain Rhyme that Involves Baking a Cake

    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

    It's raining cake!

    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.
