I love my Butter Crunches dipped
in steaming Yorkshire Tea.
It makes them mellow on the tongue
and tastier for me.
I never leave them very long,
in case they crumble up
and cause an awful soggy mess
that sticks inside my cup.
I took my son to Grandma’s house
when he was just a boy,
and plunging shortcakes in his tea
he smiled with heartfelt joy.
“Oh! don’t do that dear,” Grandma glared,
“It’s rather rude,” she said.
“Well Mummy does it all the time.”
I felt myself turn red.
Sophistication disappeared,
I am a slob – it’s true!
Yet I am sure when all alone,
she dunks her biscuits too.
