  1. Flour?
    I thought I'd use my wheat and ryes to the occasion with a few puns, but I could barley manage a few corny ones

  2. The sacking of the catting was through the flour
    Old Tom Burrows hated cats
    A life truly dour

    His powder was good but his baking was late
    His flint made the spark
    There was no mistake

    Except for the floor dust, sparkling in the air
    And coating Tom's being
    His face and his hair

    The following explosion laid everything flat
    The only thing missed
    was the escaping fast cat

    When asked in later days 'How many loaves do you make ?'
    For some reason Tom always said
    'Loaves ? Just the eight'.
