Darling Nana
With your eyes so blue
There are biscuits here
Made especially for you
Would you like one
Say ‘Yes’ ….. please
They are your favourite
Please have one of these
Have a biscuit, Nana
I spent hours making them
There’s chocolate, or vanilla
Nut, cherry or lem-on
First I mixed the butter
Into the white sugar
Then Mum helped me with the eggs
And we added flour from the jar
After that I decided
What flavour you would like
But maybe, I wondered if
I should have made pike-lets
Anyway I added
Lots of yummy things
And Mum helped me shape them
And make them ‘fit for Kings’
We placed them on greased trays
And into the hot oven they went
Waiting! Waiting! For the bell to ring
Oh! No! They’ve all come out bent
So please Nana, please
Have a biscuit, please
I made them with all my love
Just one little bite ……
Ok! My precious one
