Tuesday Poem - Bread Week

A slice of toast in the midst of school run madness
A quick jam sandwich for hungry kids
A chip butty with melted butter and ketchup
A mop-up tool for stew - that's the greatness of bread

It comes in brown, multigrain and white
50/50, honeyed oat, gluten-free, rye
Brioche, fruit, cheesy, crusty, soft as a cloud
Practically every combination possibly

A quick breakfast, a lazy brunch
A grabbed snack, a double-decker doorstep
A melty mid-afternoon pick me up
A cheap yet tasty bean covered tea

You can't beat the humble loaf
It comes in every variety
Comforting and delicious
It's why we have an extra slice
