Breadrin

There, on top of the freezer:
brown soda bread;
coconut bread - more like cake
for buttering. And it was a fresh
coconut from Ridley Market,
cracked with a hammer
between the eyes.
Lincolnshire Plum Loaf,
- more like a fruit loaf
for buttering.
No, indeed not,
the cupboard ain't bare.
An' Bix Beiderbeck breaks
into song - well it was
Seger Ellis - eighty years
ago but still fresh out
of the oven:

"There's a cradle in Caroline
A bough in a tree, a bowing to me
There's a cradle that I call mine
A carpet of green, you know what I mean"
