Half a croissant, on a plate, with a sign in front of it saying '50c'

Tastes richer, less filling.

The Illogical Wrong Song

For [thumbwax]

When I was young, I found the ‘bakery so wonderful,
a miracle, oh it was beautiful, magical.
And all the ‘bakers whom I’d see, were annotating so happily,
joyfully, playfully ‘baking just like me.
But then I went away, for a while, to be sensible,
logical, productive and practical.
And when I came back, I found a world filled with the indefensible,
clinical, unintellectual and cynical.

Most times I bake, while all the world's asleep,
And I ask myself questions far too deep, for simple man.
Won't you please, please tell me why we've spurned,
The sense of whimsy for which we all yearned?

Now watch what you say or they'll be calling for an MFD,
Or an amnesty: It’s a travesty,
Won't you sign up your name? We'd like to feel we’re
back where it all began, I’m certain that we can!

Most times I bake, while all the world's asleep,
And I ask myself questions far too deep, for simple man.
Won't you please, please tell me why we've spurned,
The sense of whimsy for which we all yearned?

       Used to be my favorite song when I was maybe 12. Close to my heart. Your version is very creative. And you came up with it fast.

       Good to see you active in the halfbakery.

       Time. Time is the enemy.   

       The autoboner is time? Who knew?

       Amen to that, [UB].

       it's not much of a croissant,

       This almost made me cry, for some reason. (Not been here much, is thumb ok?)

       Yes. He asked for this song to be parodied, in another thread.

       Thank you for the info bubber, that thumb's thumb, and is still thumbling around. However, I still feel like crying when I read this song. Chitter chatter is up to 90%. I miss the moderators, who used to say, "get a room, already". Thanks bubbs, for reminding me of the days when nothing meant something.

       Well it's about time the old guard stood up to it then.
I have to say I have had enough of the recent outbreak of personal chit-chat and using HB as an alternative counselling tool. Where has the wit and banter gone?
I still think of U.B.s anno to my Unhinged Sandwich post: "Ham on wry". Ahhh, those were the days.

       I wrote that? Damn, I used to be funny!

       [Una] It was less than 2 months ago, silly.
