Pity, Oh Pity!
Another one written for The Jamie Owen programme on BBC Radio Wales for National Bread Day 2002!
Pity, Oh Pity!
Pity, oh pity the poor, old sliced white,
Unwanted, unloved and reviled!
Once Mothers of Britain,
Their faces agleam,
Emerged from the kitchen,
And thought it a dream
To serve four pounds of dripping
Spread thickly, like cream,
On a beautiful slice of sliced white.
But when they found out what was in a sliced white,
And whispered of "bleaches" and "E"s,
The Mothers of Britain
Let out a shrill cry,
And pushed it away
With a disgruntled sigh,
Then served instead humus
Smeared thinly on Rye.
Oh pity the poor, old sliced white!
Pity, Oh Pity!
Pity, oh pity the poor, old sliced white,
Unwanted, unloved and reviled!
Once Mothers of Britain,
Their faces agleam,
Emerged from the kitchen,
And thought it a dream
To serve four pounds of dripping
Spread thickly, like cream,
On a beautiful slice of sliced white.
But when they found out what was in a sliced white,
And whispered of "bleaches" and "E"s,
The Mothers of Britain
Let out a shrill cry,
And pushed it away
With a disgruntled sigh,
Then served instead humus
Smeared thinly on Rye.
Oh pity the poor, old sliced white!
