Bachelor Baking Banana Bread
A Poem Composed with Banana Bread in the oven
A Bachelor Baking Banana Bread!
A typical 21st century scene... (?)
He's ready to eat some Banana Bread,
Waiting till an hour at 350* it's been.
*
A Bachelor Baking Banana Bread!
(Peanut butter was added, for flavor and crunch)
Did he follow the recipe? In over his head,
This baking bach'lor is yearning to munch.
*
A Bachelor Baking Banana Bread!
He'd bought six bananas, but all soon went brown;
Foregoing the trash, he surmised instead,
"These still can make something that's worth chowing down!"
*
A Bachelor Baking Banana Bread!
He scrounged up the ingredients, tools, and will,
to make dreams come true (of Banana Bread)
And mixed up a dough - feeling a swelling thrill!
*
A Bachelor Baking Banana Bread!
Whilst waiting till dough completed it's bake,
A poem, he'd write, till the hour had fled!
And have two homemade works, to share and partake.
*
A Bachelor Baking Banana Bread!
Even while trying to think up the next rhyme,
BEEP BEEP went the oven - "oh shoot," he said,
For done was the alotted banana-bread-baking time.
*
The Bachelor had Baked some Banana Bread!
Oh wonder of wonders, and joy of all joys,
It tasted half-decent - a proud step he'd just tread!
For he'd baked something that he could share and enjoy.
