Enticing images of pastries are in my favourite old book
All of these delicious things I really love to cook
Ravenous people will rush from here and there
To engulf one of my famous chocolate éclairs
You know, the one thing people really despise?
Is my steaming fish-pie, which can sometimes attract flies
When I bake madly with my monstrous rolling-pin
The flour cloud makes my poor head spin
My worn out blender sounds like a crazy old hyena
When the liquids explode, “OH NO! Where is my cleaner?”
All of my creations are baked with such passion
But my daggy old apron is way out of fashion
All my snacks are very hard to beat
And my fish pie is quite a treat. It’s really neat.
