caption contest 3.12.12

Only now I saw the message telling me I also won the caption contest, thank you so much!!

(nice to come back home to these surprises after a rough day at work!)

I am having some computer issues so a picture I had on file already will have to do....

Here it goes, can you come up with a funny caption for this one (it left me pretty speechless to be honest...)

Suzanne was a funny unconventionnel person: so, once, at the actual date of her birthday,she invited all her friends to a "Post-birth/Pre-funaral party".

- This is what her friends came up with: a gorgegeous cake .... but, if her intention was just a moment of fun ... she should had read this through the mysterious lines on her cake:

What a neat cake ! Under/underneath that cake lies a big regret : we will miss you when you have finished it ... all by yourself, you greedy little thing ! But, nevertheless: you will leave with our best wishes for a lovely afterlife ... and good luck to eat it all up! .... and then, yes, we �ll neatly miss you ! .... ;o)

Dear Suzanne, sorry for mixing up the words, omitting letters and making this cake as it is now. All we wanted to say was: We will definitely miss this cake after it goes underneath (as everything we eat), it looks so neat with all those roses � Oh yes, an best wishes to you, too!

Aha! I �ve got it---

Her name is Suzanne Under and her colleagues find it "neat" that they will miss her. This is a double-edged sword that allows for those that like her as well as those that are happy to see her go.

EDIT- I just figured out how this happened. The instructions were to write "Best Wishes Suzanne" and underneath that "We will miss you" -- "underneath that" indicating where the next line should be placed. DOOOHH!

The under neat that cake

Flo Flo decided to bake

A lovely little farewell cake

For a very special person

It was for Suzanne

The colleague of her man

And the teacher of her children

She made it in a hurry

In a skirmish and a flurry

And didn�t have time to ice it

So she went to another

Who was working undercover

And asked them to make it nicer

What she really didn�t know

Was that her decorator JoJo

Was still learning English

On dear, lo and behold

Jo Jo was ever so bold

In trying to follow Flo�s wish

She skipped her IELTS test

And did her very very best

But to err, well you know, is human

Jo Jo was so upbeat

She wrote underneat

What she shouldn�t have

But in a nutshell

She was saved by the bell

When on delivery

She tripped and fell

And the cake went, well

Splat, all over the floor

So no one need know

The story of Flo and Jo

And the under neat that cake
