Triangular wonder
cooked by the heat of a thousand suns
in a silver toaster
warming and turning
soft white (or maybe brown) bread
golden and toasty
Yellow butter melts
as it lands on the surface
sinking slowly at the sound of the pop
of a jar opening and the imminent arrival
of the strawberry jam.
#Fruit #Sponge #Custard #Pudding
Something to eat not quite after
Partaking in the evening meal, – full
Of yummy fruit – or maybe even Chocolate!
Now, its nice to have with Custard
Great Hot (or Cold)
Enjoyed by all after teatime

Built like
a sponge colossus
to many – a
teatime snack to
enjoy just after your chops and vegetables
now how much you have is down to you
but then again – its a question of how much sponge
unless of course, you don’t like Marzipan
reactions to this cake – understandable
“great! can we have one more slice please ?”
lunch was two hours ago
and dinner is hours away
the hunger pangs are out of the cage
And they’ve begun to play
So over to the brown bread you go
And forage for a filling or two
When the jars of peanut butter and jam
Located above tonight’s spiced ham
Decide to greet you hello
Just the thing till dad makes tea
And summmat that you’ll eat with glee
Out in the garden without delay
Before running around the garden to play

Wail like a graceful swan dear driver
it doesn’t matter – everyone around you is looking
to others – its like the circus is in town
the only things missing are your make up and
evaporating sense of humour
reacting to traffic was never your strong point – and its showing

And here’s some pics of some Jam (Raspberry) and Lemon curd, common thread ? all items were photographed at BASIC. The Jams were made at Food for Thought, BASICs Cafe – they’re tasty on a piece of toast or a crumpet!

Hidden away among a mountain of leaves
the humble blackberry grows on its branch
biding its time till a meeting awaits
when it drops down into a sugary pool
and parties with its pals
no selfies needed here – they’re all jammin’
taken as a snack or a pudding
a buttery biscuit base inlaid with
rich fruit jam in its centre
totally tasty at tea time
twist on the tale ?
a bake well places an almond sponge
right on top of the fruity bit
tempting nevertheless
