Grandma's Special Toast

From Hebden Bridge to the Amalfi coast
People yearned for grandma's toast
That golden slice of scrumptiousness
The heavenly whiff, the unctuousness
They tried to copy her golden taste
With different spread and different paste
But nothing ever seemed the same
When changing tack or shifting blame
They pestered her for ever more
Banging loudly at her door
Grandma please, we're in desperate need
Of toasted goodness, of wholesome seed
So grandma learned to churn out more
She tripled output through her door
Grandma's toast in Halifax
Became available now in vacuum packs
Weddings, wakes and carnivals
Meant catering for quite a host
But now you could Google 'toast by post'
With availability coast to coast
It soon became familiar boast
To substitute the Sunday roast
With Grandma's special toasted grill
In Heckmondwyke and Notting Hill
And then one day, when least expected
Grandma died and the world dejected
They mourned the thought of Grandma's toast
As church bells summoned the heavenly host
And now on dark and lonely nights
Grandma's ghost delights the most
By munching ectoplasmic toast with cheese
The one we liked the most
She took her secret to the grave
And to this day people rave
They tell of joy and taste orgasmic
Pleasures ghostly and quite phantasmic

That's splendid. I for one
That's splendid. I for one would be perfectly happy to spend a phantasmagorical eternity eating cheese on toast!

Ecky Thump! This is our PIck of the Day for 3 March 2025
Funny - and as Yorkshire as the Dales; any poem that rhymes Halifax with vacuum packs deserves to be pick of the day.
