The NHS has lost the recipe to toast
And what worries me about this the most
Is it really is a simple thing
To toast the bread and make it sing
Firm and crunchy it should be
But no … soft and floppy is what we see
The ice cold butter just won’t spread
It snags and rips and tears the bread
And when it comes to cut in half
It goes well beyond a laugh
The knife is as blunt as a spoon
No way through that crust soon
