ROCKS
Most people think that Rocks are stones, And never meant to eat, But if you’ll make the ones I mean, You'll find them quite a treat. One cup of powdered sugar take, Two-thirds of butter add. And cream together soft and smoothSuch work will make you glad, Two eggs, well beaten, go in next, Then ’tis the flour’s turn, One cup, and half a cuptul more, But any extra spurn. A teaspoonful of cinnamon, And one of powdered clove, An ounce of walnuts chopped, with pound Of raisins, that all love. These added with soda well dissolved (A teaspoonful, that’s all), In water, hot, ’twill keep the rocks From an untimely fall. On buttered tins the batter drop From spoon- twill oddly torm! Bake in an oven not too cold, Nor yet again too warm. Taste one when done, and you will own Before you are much older, The only fault of such a rock Is that it’s not a boulder!
