This is the story of Jake of the Grape.
You may know that grapes do not live very long
So, every other day they have a birthday celebration
Their desire for fun is extremely strong
Now Jake the grape had a special dream
He wanted on one of his own birthdays
To sit on a birthday cake amidst the cream
The other grapes ware scared for Jake
You do not want just to sit on a birthday cake
The chance of being eaten is a terrible plight
Even though sitting on top of a cake is a pure delight
But Jake sneaked into a bakery at night
And the next day, he sat a on cake, what a sight
A whole group of people was singing a birthday song
Before the cake was cut in pieces oblong
Jake the grape, was the only grape on the cake
And he ended up on the birthday-boy's plate
Now for good heaven's sake,
The boy did not like to eat grapes
And threw Jake silently on the ground
While none of the other people around
Were looking and thus were unaware
That Jake just lay on the floor somewhere
The next morning, mother swept the floor
And Jake ended up among the flower bed
That was located not far from the door
That was as good for Jake as it ever could get.
Now a wonderful vine is growing near the house
But except the birthday-boy, nobody knows
That the vine was made
By Jake the grape from the birthday cake.
