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
