Flour, yeast, salt, egg or two and sugar
Brings meaning to the baker's labor
Add milk or cream and knead it all vigorously.
Could add some chocolate, butterscotch, but no vinegar,
For it is to delight the palette with flavor.
That's what the baker gets with the right amount of sugar.
Tis sweet, all the variations, from cookies to party favors
That the baker strives for is just for pleasure
As he applies his trade with passion vigorously.
He turns to breads that he might find to be purer
But let the partaker be the juror
For sweetness eludes when he uses no sugar.
The pans are ready waiting for the baker's scraper,
The vat is ready, the oil is hot ready for batter drops
As the Baker hums to the sizzle vigorously.
The bell rings over the cooker
The baker removes the concoction to savor
As the test of tongue detects the right degree of sugar
Thus springing into a dance of satisfaction with vigor.
