A gateau in a chateau
was compared unfavourably
with a cake in a lake.
This state of affairs
came about
because the gateau in the chateau
was in rural France,
and the cake in the lake
(the lake being dry)
was nearby in the Cake District.
.
If, by another chance,
the writer of this
had been in France,
the gateau in the chateau
would have won
over the cake in the lake.
.
Allegedly.
