The strangest of cakes

Now here is a treat that always for me
But who could have thought it was right
With sponge cake and jam in a flaky pastry
And covered in icing that’s white
Then smother the top with some coconut shred
The fool who first made one was right off his head
Now why it’s called cheesecake’s a mystery to me
It’s never been near any cheese
The jam that they use has no fruit you can see
The cake is a terrible tease
I don’t much like coconut shredded on not
But the mixture of all is a flavour that’s hot
Don’t Google for pictures there weren’t any there
And eating a picture is mad
Just dream of a cake that has coconut hair
The image you’re getting’s not bad
If you are in London, I’ll buy one for you
Then you can get hooked on a flavour that’s new
