Shortbread is not bread
and shortbread is not short.
It is medium in length
and a biscuit, of sorts.
It was brought in the long boats;
the boats,which were long,
that belonged to the Vikings;
kings of Vi, who were strong.
And it commonly comes
in a tartan type tin
that is just long enough
to keep shortbread in.

Thankyou, Eph and Kahdai. I'm glad you liked it. I'm not a big fan of Shortbread, personally. I prefer Rich Tea Biscuits for dunking in my tea or Jaffa Cakes if I'm after something a bit chocolatey.
