Its fences are of pie crust And its houses built of buns, With frosted roofs and raisins On the most important ones. Bunbury has fine doughnut trees Beside a chocolate fountain, And just outside the town you’ll find A giant layer cake mountain. Its people are too cunning And too sweet for any use; There’s spry Pop Over, Johnny Cake And dainty Charlotte Russe. The moon’s a muffin, and the sun A hot cake warm and mellow. Its gentle rays make Bunbury folk A tempting brownish yellow! And when it snows, marshmallow Covers everything with icing— The houses, and the people, too, Look even more enticing. Bunbury’s folk oft gather round Ye Coffee Ring, and tell The news about young Johnny Cake— Who’s courting Patty Shell! [Illustration] Bunbury’s vaults are filled with gems For Hun Bun, the bun boy king. He has gems to burn (but doesn’t) Burnt gems are not the thing. The reason why this little town So gay and sweet and nice is Because each cake and cooky there Was raised on Dr. Price’s! Now one day as the cooky clock In taffy tower tolled, Flap Jack, the King’s own messenger Into the castle rolled. “Your Bunship!” puffed the little Jack, “I bring surprising news! There is a little lad near here Too skinny for his shoes. “He will not eat his breakfast And he will not eat his lunch. He’s lost his taste for baseball And completely lost his punch!” [Illustration] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ FLAP JACKS (_see illustration below_) 1¾ cups flour ½ teaspoon salt 3 teaspoons Dr. Price’s Baking Powder 2 eggs 1½ cups milk 1 tablespoon shortening Sift dry ingredients together; add beaten eggs, milk and melted shortening; mix well.
