Ode to Welsh Cakes
O pancakes fruity and floury, o!
I love thee so much that I won’t even toast,
so eager am I to unwrap thee and lo,
engage my taste buds coast on coast,
attacking all my battlements
with currents oh so sweet.
I’ve not been fed by sacraments
like these, nor nibbled Welsh sweetmeats
and buns as big and thick and round,
since visiting the rugby grounds.

I enjoy your light-hearted flurries through the day’s sludge. The ghosts of Williams and Hawtrey lurk. Can you guess what castle is in Cymraeg? Lol. That bakery is actually based in the Preseli Hills, Pembrokeshire. Fairly barren, but fucking gorgeous part of the world. Pure poetica. Oh, Welsh cakes are definitely finer toasted.
Oh sweet mercies. We were forced to play rugby in school. Open invitation to infanticide. We had some genuine head cases in our year. Are you familiar with Gareth Thomas, ex Welsh international? Think you may be a fan mate ;)

Gareth Thomas has been the subject of recent articles that cast a very questionable light on his actions and morals haha, but yeah, I did kind of have him in mind when I decided on the ending of this poem. Oh to have a rugby player's thighs wrapped around my face... Thank you as always for your kind commentary. I take the Walliams comparison as a high compliment.
