  1. Boxty Bread - Rhyme

    Share Share Post
    Boxty bread it went a head,
    It travelled around the nation,
    Till it came to the turnpike style,
    It is there it took its station
    The only plan is to grease the pan
    To make it turn easy
    I go bail without much meal
    I'll make a cake that will please you
