Peter picked a plate of pink gateau, Giggling and gobbling, he could not say no! Guzzling gallons, spoons in his hand, Giddy with glee, his taste buds did expand! Squirrels and seagulls started to swoon, Seeing Peter devouring with a spoon! They scuttled and squawked, seeking a taste, But Peter's gateau was not to be misplaced! With a gleam in his eye and mouth full of delight, Peter whizzed around, a cake-loving sprite! Gusto and gaiety, his gateau was divine, Oh, the joyous jumble of sweetness in his mind! But suddenly, a gust of wind took flight, Gateau flew away, like a fancy kite! Peter gasped and gulped at the empty air, His plate was bare, oh, life was unfair! But with laughter and cheer, he quickly found, A bakery nearby, where gateau abound! He skipped through the door, all full of bliss, To taste more gateau, his never-ending wish! So, remember, my friends, when gateau you see, Embrace the joy, let giggles run free! For life is sweet, just like gateau, A delightful treat that brings smiles and woe!
