Thomas and Stolen Pleasures!

Locked-down at home brings special joys;
When kids get tired of all their toys
Mum finds some baking to be done
Dough, like plasticine, is fun.

Thomas watches Mummy bake
This time it won't be a cake
Instead a large batch of small buns
Just the right size for small tums!

Tray in the oven - starts to cook ...
The timer buzzes; ooh, let's look!
Fresh baking means a special snack
Soon proudly left to cool on rack.

Thomas, now six, can present
This wicked pleasure – it is Lent!
We share his thrill and wish that we
Could join him for this tasty tea!
