Oh toasted teacake

Whose spiced fruitfulness

buttered buns doth make

My taste buds, multitudinous.

 

Strawberry jam scooped

luxuriously spread,

Juiced raisins covered

Sweet blanket overhead.

 

Oh toasted teacake

soft baked, brown coated

slightly burnt domed hat

Adds texture, pleasantly noted.

 

A certain keenness

to repeat this pleasure

Like Oliver Twist

"Want some more" to treasure

 

Oh toasted teacake

These warm buttered lips

Savoured your flavours

Whilst war waged heavy on my hips
