\"\"<\/center><\/p>\n

At a table in the back is a parent who doesn’t care.
\nTheir child is giving them their spoiled glare.
\nThey whine and swear about how it’s not fair.
\n“I WANT WHO-CAKES!” is what they blare.
\nOthers in the restaurant hear it, then stop and stare.
\nSo the parent orders IHOP Who-Cakes out of despair.<\/p>\n

The impatient kid slams the utensils in a hissy fit.
\nI mutter a little whit, “Fucking spoiled little shit.”
\nLoud brat has me thinking vasectomy, I will admit.
\nThis child’s parent is unfit, just like that bitch Brit.
\nWhen the Who-Cakes came, I thought it’ll quiet for a bit.
\nBut that little annoying bundle of hell wouldn’t quit.<\/p>\n

The Who-Cakes are something no child should eat.
\nThe frosting colors seem unnatural and sweet.
\nIt’s like a volcano spewing M&M’s and clown excrete.
\nI won’t consider it a meal on its own, it’s more like a treat.
\nI know having one could make diabetes and me meet.
\nSo I pray for the best, order the Who-Cakes and feel replete.<\/p>\n

I can’t believe these IHOP Who-Cakes is what I crave.
\nThere are so many things about it that makes me afraid.
\nBlue and pink berry frosting made to look like a cascade.
\nA pink lollipop stabbed through, so no pancake strayed.
\nBecause of this, Dr. Seuss’ body is rolling in its grave.
\nIt also did that after the Cat in the Hat movie was made.<\/p>\n

I only ate half of the IHOP Who-Cakes on the plate.
\nThere wasn’t enough of the frosting on it to regulate.
\nIt tasted like pancakes with blueberries that were fake.
\nM&M’s in breakfast food seems weird to partake.
\nThe bubblegum flavored lollipop was its best trait.
\nThe sugar in this dish will probably add some weight.<\/p>\n

Even the noisy, spoiled little punk couldn’t eat it through.
\nFortunately, overdosing on sugar caused him to be subdue.
\nThis mountain of hot cakes and candy isn’t worth it to pursue.
\nI can’t believe IHOP had a movie tie-in for Horton Hears A Who<\/a>.
\nThankfully, once the movie stops playing we will bid it adieu.
\nSo until then, please consider making the Who-Cakes taboo.<\/p>\n

(Editor’s Note: Thanks to TIB reader Caroline for suggesting the IHOP Who-Cakes and subjecting me to children who were like little bundles of joy, if joy were a swift kick to the head.)<\/small><\/p>\n
