(Give it to us daily huh huh huh huh
Give it to us daily huh huh huh huh
And all the girls say pretty nice for a white slice)
I like bread
Bread is the best thing since
Sliced bread
Say it with flour
Full of yeast and promise
All different sorts of bread
Farmhouse Split-Tin Cottage
One basic recipe and the miracle of the multiplying loaves
Feeding the 5,000 with fish sarnies
Bloomer Granary Wheatgerm
But basically it's all just bread
The ducks in the park will vouch for that
Well bred bread?
Or interbreeding
Into bread
By interkneading
Baguettes
Begat
Mini baguettes
Torpedoes Cobs Batches Baps
Crusty rolls
All fulfilling
With sandwich filling
The same roles
The United Flavours of Bread
Onion loaves
Walnut loaves
Bread filled with the fruit
Of olive groves
But essentially all bread flavoured
Bread of different colours
White and brown
And different nationalities
Chapati
Symbolic of diversity of colour and race
Sarcastic bread
Sardonic bread
Ironic bread
Rye bread
Loaves for toasting
Burnt toast is the new black
And it always falls on the buttered side
Hovis is the new brown
And mouldy bread is always greener on the other side
Savoury bread
And sweet bread
Croissants Crumpets Pykelets Muffins Scones
Eat your crusts, they’ll make your hair curly
A childhood memory
When young we always had home made freshly baked bread
The smell of nostalgia
From the oven of childhood yearning
Covered with the jam of bad metaphors
Thickly cut chunks
The doorstop challenge
One weekend my dad made saffron bread
Father’s Pride
Bright yellow
It tasted nice
Though glowed disconcertingly
At school on the Monday I opened my lunch box
And pulled out a
Big yellow sarnie
Don’t it always seem to go
That you don’t know what you’re got til its exposed to the wrath of the playground
“It's still just a sandwich”
I vainly said to the vicious mob
But they judged my bread on its colour
Nothing is more ruthless than a kid with an advantage and the support of the crowd
And the crowd pile down the sandwich shop
Who proclaim the latest fad bread
Making dough by making dough
Bagel shops rose overnight
The hole in the bread
Filled a gap in the market
Another way for cafes to earn their bread and butter
Last year was the year of the wrap
But is panini the new wrap?
Whatever, nothing can escape the fact that all of the above
When filled with meat and salad and cheese
Are
All
Still
Just
Sandwiches
