Bawdy - the Great British Pancake Day Toss Off Lol

Today is Pancake Day and there’s to be a pancake race folk are on the starting line with a smile upon their face Ted is ready with his frying pan, he is a fat old josser but when it comes to pancakes, Ted’s an expert tosser. The gun goes BANG and off they go, Ted’s busy tossing away busty Maureen's in the lead, if she wins there’ll be hell to pay! Ted’s won the race the last five years, he tosses night and day He’s had the trophy on his shelf and hopes that’s where it’ll stay Maureen stumbles, her pancake drops and she begins to cry Ted sneakily stamps on her pancake; he’s such a crafty guy The finishing line is in sight, there’s just fifty yards to go Ted frantically tosses his pancake, his wrist is fast not slow Bill makes a sterling effort and comes at Ted from behind tossing their pans in unison; Bill's got winning on his in mind Ted lunges for the white tape, but the race is declared a draw Bill suggests a ‘toss off’ as there’s never been a draw before Both men take a breather and get a fresh pancake to toss if either drops their pancake then it will be to their loss They both stand on the finish line and flip and toss like mad neither of them will concede, whoever loses will be quite sad A crowd gathers, desperate to know who’ll be crowned the winner suddenly a seagull swoops grabbing Ted’s pancake for its dinner He starts to shout, he’s quite irate when its declared Bill's won Ted takes it all to seriously, Bill thought the toss off was such fun! In England Shrove Tuesday is also known as pancake day and pancake races are held all over the UK. Date 02/28/17 Make me actually LOL 2 Poetry Contest Sponsor Nina Parmenter
