Ode to an M&S toasted teacake

Oh toasted teacake

Your 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 upon my hips,
