rusks || via Pinterest, originally from Getaway Blog
I have a lovely Mom,
She's as sweet as toffee
She makes delicious rusks
which are PERFECT for your coffee.
When I was home in SA
just not too long ago
she packed a batch of rusks
in my bag to go
I traveled with these rusks
across the world so wide
all the way to Wimbledon,
where we currently reside.
Me and husband dear
have been feasting on these delights
Although we try to savour them -
each and every bites!
I've been monitoring these rusks
because with every little chew
our bellies get so happy
but the bag gets few and few.
We are currently nearing the end
- I'd say it's "a code red"
I'm starting to think of alternatives
to dunk in my coffee instead.
I really shouldn't panic because
we have about six remaining
So to ween myself off of them
I've tried some light abstaining.
It really doesn't work though -
because they are so delicious
and packed full with All Bran flakes
so in (some ways) so nutritious!
Husband thinks I should learn
to make these rusks divine,
But given my cooking record
I very politely decline
He says that they will be
so delicious - A real tasty HIT!
I say "Are you serious?
I can't cook for shit."
The mom is quite "famous"
in our little town
for her tasty rusks -
so delicious golden brown.
I don't need the fame
or the RUSK BAKER CROWN
I'd just like more rusks please -
with my coffee, slippers, gown.
If you are good at baking,
and live in my postal code -
POP OVER FOR SOME COFFEE!
(and bring a little load)
I shall update you all
on our tasty rusk demise
i doubt it will be necessary
since you'll probably hear my cries.
An ode to Mom's rusks -
so ends my little story
We'll miss you little rusks
in all your dunking glory.
