The Revolting Loaf of Bread

By Elton Camp An insect we found in a loaf of bread But, at least, it was very safely dead How the bug came there, I don’t know Such things can easily happen, though Though not very pleasant to mention The baker had a moment of inattention Into the batter the critter took a dive But only for seconds remained alive The loaf was baked at a high heat There it was, antennae, body, feet Any germs were surely destroyed So the bread can safely be enjoyed But some might not find it so keen To have this bit of added protein Others on the bread will munch And not mind the extra crunch
