I'm a nice and crusty
loaf of bread.
Grab some butter,
and begin to spread.
I'm ideal for snacks
and family feasts.
I'm made from flour,
and a sprinkling of yeast.
I'm mixed and I'm kneaded,
and then left to prove.
I'm baked in the oven,
and cooled so that you've
got something yummy to nibble
for breakfast or lunch,
or sticky French toast
and egg muffin for brunch.
You can call me traditional -
I've no currants or glaze.
However you slice it,
it was the way I was raised.
