Seeded

I love any bread with seeds - Bagels, rolls or rye, Pumpernickel, crusty loaves - They all will satisfy. Caraway and sesame My appetite will spur; But poppy seeds, above all others, Are what I prefer. Some cakes and muffins, even scones, Are dotted with those seeds. When I am in a bakery, My mouth knows what it needs. I marvel at those people, Who will willingly abstain From the joy of crunching seeded food To eat a bagel plain. They miss the subtle flavors That all tiny seeds bequeath; Though their one advantage is they won't Have seeds stuck in their teeth!
