Victoria's sponge

Classier than clotted cream
she sandwiches me between
the sheets of good intentions
and unhealthy conventions
with sweeter sayings than
strawberry jam and I can take
each seed of sweetness
she feeds me honestly
because her layers are promising
the foundations are strong
yet she's fluffy and light
a subtle vanilla sponge
that sits neatly on my tongue
till I wrap myself around her
 that's the best thing about cake
you'll always go back for more
