Best Thing Since Sliced Bread

Running down the road with the wind behind my tail I am off to buy a loaf of bread, out in a forceful gale Checking out the cheese selection, and the ham too Chucked in a few tomatoes and then off home I flew Hung my coat to dry, and donned my warm slippers Cats at my feet, one whiff of ham, I guess it figures Filling up my toastie bags with cheese and with ham With thin cut slices of tomatoes, just because I can Two golden toasties now sitting on my waiting plate A bit of salt and coarse pepper boy they taste great It beats cooking a meal and washing all those dishes And to top it all, they tasted flamin' yummy delicious As why I have made my toasties out to be so grand I flamin' haven't had one for months do understand My old toaster blew a fuse, as went out back to rust As came 7 months I could no longer contain my lust To which I can honestly say, was well worth the wait Now as to what I put in the next toastie, my debate Indiana Shaw . . . "A toaster, the next best thing to sliced bread" . . . ; )
