Where Have All the Donuts Gone?

Apologies to Pete Seeger

Where have all the donuts gone?
They are asking.
Where have all the donuts gone?
Nobody knows.
Where have all the donuts gone?
I ate them - every one.
I hope they never learn.
I hope they never learn.

If you eat donuts in secret no one will ever know where the tasty donuts go. I won’t tell them if you agree to share some delicious donuts with me, fairs fair… Beryl
